The sighting of the moon is a matter of difference of opinion. The Ulema of Hanifi, Maliki and Hanbali opine that a single sighting in any land, or any region of a shared sunset (mutaala'a مَطْلَع), suffices for all regions. Some of the Shafii Ulema disagree with this opinion about the differing of shared sunset regions (plural مُطالِع), but not all of the Shafii Ulema disagree. May Allah (swt) accept from all the Ulema in their exerted opinions.
