Some people claimed they saw the full moon on Ramadan 12, while it should be complete on the 15th day.
The Dar Al-Ifta said that it relies on legitimate scientific committees consisting of legal experts and specialists in astronomy in the moon sighting, adding that it has seven observatories distributed nationwide to observe the crescent.
The Dar Al-Ifta of the Arab country called on all Muslims and the media outlets to neglect such inaccurate reports that confuse the nation, Egypt Today reported.
Different countries decide the date of the beginning of Ramadan in different ways. Some rely on mathematical calculations, while others insist on the moon sighting.
