10. In Fat'hul
Barry it is written:
"When one town decides, it is binding on the
people of all countries. This is the most prevalent view of Malikiy
Madhab." (Fat'hul Barry 5:601)
11. Ibn Mundir
(RA), leader of the Ahlus Sunna declares:
"This is the view of the Hanafi, Malikiy and
Humbali Schools." (Sharahus Sunnah 6:245).
12. Imam
Navavi (RA) also confirms:
"These three Madhabs have the same
opinion." (Sharahul Muhaddab 6:274)
From these explanations it is clear that the followers of Hanafi,
Malikiy and Hambali Schools say that the World Muslims must celebrate the Eid
on a single Day basing on the first appearance of the Hilal. We have already
stated that Imam Shafiy (RA) also has the same opinion. The scholars, who
followed him, have expressed different opinions only because they were not
aware of the Date line (Mathla'h') about which the Imam had talked. Views
expressed later by some others without having profound knowledge cannot be
treated as the views of the Imams themselves.
