The majority of my state, including the local mosque, follows the calculation method. Because of this difference, their Eid will be on the 20th, while for those following moonsighting it may be on the 21st or 22nd.\\n\\nAnother issue is that my husband is currently overseas and began fasting one day earlier than I did, but he will be here for Eid, inshaAllah. Does this mean we will have to celebrate Eid on different days?\\n\\nAlso, if Eid ends up being on the 22nd according to moonsighting, that could mean he would end up fasting 31 days. Is that permissible, since it is commonly said that Ramadan can only be 29 or 30 days?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"No, you do not have to celebrate eid on different days because your husband can continue to fast until the moon is sighted, even though it might be eid according to calculation.\\n\\nIn the Shafi school where local sighting is the established position, a traveler must follow the sighting of the land to which they travel, even if it results in a person fasting 31 days. So, there is legal precedence.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fde0b76658b4c232774","tag":"Fasting: Ramadan","count":97}],"createdOn":"2026-03-16T21:17:48.566Z"}
