Sheikh AlOthaimeen (RH) supports Ikhtilaaf AlMatale (Local Sighting) for all 12 months including DhulHijja (EidUlAdha).

Question:
Respected Sheikh Muhammad bin Saleh AlOthaimeen May Allaah protect you. AsSalaamu Alaykum w.r. w.b.
We have observed the Fatwa from your respected self, in the book “Fatawa Islamiya” relating that the sighting of Hilaal in one country does not obligate all other countries to abide by (it’s date). Is this also applicable to Hilaal sighting for EidUlAdha (month of DhulHijja) ?
Please benefit us (explain to us). May Allaah (SWT) reward you. Jazakum Allahu Khayr AlJaza
Answer: BismillahIrRahmaanIrRaheem - Wa Alaykum AsSalaam w.r. w.b. For Hilaal the Matale (sighting) are different from one place to other – for Ramadaan as well as other months. The same rule for Hilaal applies for all the months. However I view that the people should agree on one thing, and follow the resolution of the Ameer of the Islamic society in their non-Muslim countries. Since this matter is wide (multiple views) Insha’Allaah. i.e. some scholars say: once the sighting of Hilaal is confirmed in any one Islamic country or state, it obligates all Muslims in all Islamic states to abide by (its date).

Saudi Aalim Asks Muslims in N. America NOT to pray Eid on Day after Arafah
(Famous Saudi Aalim and Faqih, Sheikh Mohammad Ibn Salih Al-Uthaimeen tells Muslims about the correct date of Eid al-Adha in N. America to be on 10th Zul-Hijja of North America, and not the day-after Arafah in Makkah, as some claim.)
From: Abdulrahman bin Abdallah Al-khalidy (Ithaca, NY)
Al Hamdulillah wa salatu wa salamu ala rasulillah,
I was troubled when I read the e-mails regarding the discrepancies in deciding the first day of Dhil-Hijjah which would mean that we will have to accommodate two separate dates for the Day of Arafah and the Eid. I called Sheikh Mohammad bin Uthaymeen and asked him about this particular situation and his position has relieved me; wal Hamdulillah.
Q: Should we abide by the local sighting in determining the Eid-al-Adha or should we follow the pilgrims' schedule, knowing that North America sighting of crescent may come a day before Saudi Arabia's sighting?
A: "You should abide by the city you're living in."
Q: This means that we will fast the 9th of Zul-Hijja of North America and pray Eid on 10th Zul-Hijja of North America!
A: "Yes, and this is what you should do without any (Haraj) or mental anxiety."

Wish you good luck in fulfilling the Ibadah, fasting on the 9th Zul-hijja based on your area moonsighting and celebrating Eid-al-Adha on 10th Zul-hijja. Those who do it this way, they would have followed the Sunnah of the Prophet. May Allah bless you all.
