An Important Announcement from Wifaq Ulama Regarding Eid ul Fitr 1432/2011

Tue - 06 Sep

Announcement from Wifaq Ulama Regarding Eid ul Fitr 1432/2011:

“We feel that now is the time for the Ulama to put past differences behind them and come back on the negotiating table to negotiate a formula or a criterion which is Shariah compliant/free of any doubt and unites all, irrespective of which school of thought they belong to.”

We are receiving a lot of enquiries as regards to the rumours going round about Eid Ul Fitr 1432 AH/2011.

We see it as irresponsible to entertain any rumour, hence the silence. But what we will say is that we had already announced on the 24th of August, SIX days before Eid ul Fitr that Saudi Arabia has already fixed Eid ul Fitr for the 30th of August 2011.
