Why is it not permissible to accept news of moon-sightings from Saudi Arabia?

Answer

The reason why news from Saudi Arabia is not acceptable, is because the Shariah has been made subservient to the rulers in that country. The authorities determine the months with astronomical calculations. They do not adhere strictly to Shar'i methods. The Shariah has become a pawn for the Saudi rulers who are increasingly walking the path of kufr. They have no regard and no respect for the Deen. The word of such fussaaq stands condemned in the Shariah.
