Some senior Muftis are of the view that global moon sighting is valid.

Answer

They are quoting Shaami incorrectly. According to only the Hanafi Math-hab, the sighting of the hilaal in the west is valid for regions in the east and vice versa. This mas'alah does not at all mean that it is incumbent on the people in the west to accept the information transmitted by the people in the east and vice versa nor does it mean that we should establish hilaal committees for 'global sighting'. There never existed any such structure or even attempt in the 14 century history of Islam.

Practically in our era in which there is no Ameerul Mu'mineen ruling all the lands of Islam, it is not possible to have a unified Eid based on global sighting. Hitherto there has been nothing but confusion and greater controversy stemming from these 'global sighting' endeavours. Reliance cannot be reposed on the corrupt, unjust, tyrannical regime of Saudi Arabia. The Saudis are hopelessly unfit to lead the Ummah in any matter of the Deen.

No one and no country has the right to impose its sighting on the inhabitants of another country. In fact, the elders of one town cannot impose their sighting on the inhabitants of another town 10 miles away in the same country.

Those harping and barking about 'global sighting' and a 'unified Eid', don't have serious work, hence they employ their brains and squander their time in futility, dreaming and hallucinating unattainable goals. Don't pay attention to their drivel.
