Can
    Muslims living in Western countries form committees to sight the moon?
Question

                Is it permissible for Muslims who are
      living in a non-Islamic country to form a committee to confirm the sighting of the new
      moon for Ramadaan, Shawwaal, Dhoo’l-Hijjah or not?
Praise be to Allah.The Muslims living in non-Islamic countries are permitted to form
    committees to take on the responsibility of confirming the new moon for Ramadaan, Shawwaal
    and Dhoo’l-Hijjah.
