Question

Eid-ul-adha is celebrated according to moon sighting of the particular country or according to Saudi Arabia? If it's different then how should we celebrate them?

Answer

You will celebrate the eid according to the sighting of your area as the ulama and the righteous people of your area have accepted the sighing. I suggest that you move with that.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
