this eid and ramadan, in USA, people have been divided by the date of which they've started and ended the month.

this is because some people have gone by moon-sighting and others by calculations and set calenders.

in my opinion i think everybody should go by the sighting of the moon with the naked eye.
that way more people would pray on the same day.
please comment regarding what you think would be the better way to decipher the new month, and why.

may allah guide us all ameen.

as-salamu a'laikum
and eid Mubarak

its better if they form a group of people, and bring scientific apparactus and see the moon, and if that group of ppl see the moon, then its eid if they don't then its not eid.

but it will be fine too, if they do scientific calculatons in also see the moon through scientific apparatus, that way they can see if the scientific calculations are correct or not.
