Sister Ginny

I agree this moon sighting issue has brought some to literally blows so as I said it was an educational exchange and i feel lucky to be at the epicenter (next to my house in maryland) where bro Khalid lives. He ( not me) also mentioned that sometimes people see clouds thin and claim it is the cresent moon so only God knows 

i usually fast extra days before and after ramadan so i guess in case they miss a day i am covered also.  ok we are moving on

cheers

Hj Habib
