These include the commencement of the month Ramadān, Eid-ul-Fitr, and Eid-ul-Adhā. Be it known that there is no connection between Eid-ul-Adhā and Hajj. Hence, the sighting of Eid-ul-Adhā will be subject to local moon- sighting. The following sixty six (66) Islamic Scholars (see attached pdf file) and Imams from all parts of Australia have whole heartedly expressed their preference for local moonsighting.
