Eid Moon Controversy

In order to determine whether the Central Ruet e Hilal Committee was correct or the KP ulema in announcing the sighting of the Eid moon, let’s  observe the full moon (14^th of moon) when it shall be a perfectly round disc and easily decidable.  If it happens to be on the evening of Sunday the 16^th of June then Maulana Popalzei is correct and if it falls on Monday evening the 17^th instant then Messrs Fawad Ch. and Mufti Munib ur Rehman would be correct.

Whichever party is proved wrong, should not be allowed to make future announcements for the sighting of new moons.
