jazakallah for uploading this video

firstly, we in Britian follow the local time for salah even though we see the saudi prayers on t.v we, still pray salah according to our GMT timings.hence NOT SAUDI TIMINGS,

secondly, during the time of our nabi S.A.W, eid ul adhah was not celebrated on the following day of Hajj, thus this shows that Nabi S.A.W insisted in following the local timing rather than the Makkah timings.

How dare some of you insult the Shaykh... especially if you have 786 in your name, thats just pathetic!! if you knew how much wisdom and knowledge he has brought to us in London and UK, you'd think twice before insulting him.

May Allah preserve him and grant him the highest rank. Ameen.

@3ishaa Then why in pakistan do they do eid on the same day you guys contradict yourself why in pakistan if the moon is sighted in one city it is eid in all of pakistan because according to the hadith you are presenting there should be a local sighting in each city .

Hafiz Patel is a Fitnah in the UK about the moon sighting and Eids .He follows the Saudi House . And you know that the Aali saud is the most dangrous Munaafiq in the world 4 the Muslims. wearing the robe of the so called Khadimul Haramain is enough to deceive the faithfulls. also faithfulls should beware, when they r getting injected with the poison just before the Hujj and Umrah visa under the pretext of health and safety. I'm 1of the victims of this injection

lol he seems more like a politician defending wahabism than a muslim scholar.

Z Hejja ه ١٣٩٩ (Shekha Bin Baaz) The grand scholar Mufti of Saudi Arabia (Al Bathul Islami p 63) After doing extensive research on this issue, he concludes with this statement. ‘As for those who say that it is necessary to follow the sighting of Makkah (SAUDI) then let it be known that there is no proof or basis for this in the Holy Qur’an and Sunnah’.

2) "a man coming from a country far away from Saudi". This is problematic. Saudi Arabia did not exist back then, in any way, shape or form. The Saud tribe is originally from Najd, where the city of Riyadh is now. Makkah and Madina are in the Hijaz region. What far away country is he talking about?

1) The Ummah in the time of the Prophet, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, was not spread out as it is today. It was only after his death that the Companions burst out of the Arabian peninsula and spread north to Sham, east to Persia and wesr to Egypt and the rest of North Africa.
