he issue of moon sighting to determine the beginning of Dhul Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic calendar, and the day of Eid al-Adha has once again ignited debate among Muslim scholars. The Kenya Muslim National Advisory Council chairman Sheikh Juma Ngao speaking in Mombasa stated the office of the Chief Kadhi is the one mandated to announce the start of the Islamic holy month and celebrations, and not any other Islamic body.

Sheikh Ngao urged Islamic bodies and scholars to work together for the benefit of the Muslim community.
