What is the solution for the moon controversy?

Answer

The only way to terminate the moon controversy is to revert to the simple Sunnah method commanded by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam). That method is: Search for the hilaal at the end of the 29th day. If it is not visible, then the month will be 30 days. Confound all the other arrangements and methods which are made to force the issue of Eid. All methods should be discarded, and only the simple Sunnah adopted. This is the simple and pure method devoid of problems and it will not give rise to conflict if all parties submit to this Sunnah. But, the problem is that in these days people are not contented with the simple practices of the Sunnah. They seek to supersede the Shariah. Some who lack confidence in the simple Sunnah method feel more comfortable relying on the 'sunnah' of Saudi Arabia. Others again who equally have no fervour for the Sunnah, desire the 'sunnah' of the astronomers. The logical conclusion is the perennial conflict.
