What does the Shariah say about having Eid on different days?

Question

What does the Shariah say about having Eid on different days?

Answer

Eid on different days is valid and permissible. As far as the masses are concerned, they obviously are not in a position to make a determination on this issue. They have to follow the Ulama on whom they have confidence. Provided that the Ulama are true Ulama, not deviates such as those who oppose the opening of the Musaajid and indulge flagrantly in fisq and kufr, then people should follow those on whom they have confidence. It is not permissible to follow deviates. Even ordinary people possess sufficient brains to understand that molvis and sheikhs who have opposed the opening of the Musaajid and who insist 'religiously' and doggedly on observing the haraam protocols of the atheists in the Musaajid, are akin to kuffaar. It is not permissible to follow them.
