Perak deputy mufti Zamri Hashim said the date of Aidilfitri in Malaysia would be decided based on Ikmanur Rukyah which depends on observations that would be conducted on April 20. “People are influenced by foreign sources that the size and age of the moon will vary,” he told reporters after officiating a Hari Raya donation handover ceremony at a supermarket in Ipoh today.
Previously, there was talk among Muslims in the country about a recurrence of last year’s “surprise Hari Raya” after news that Syawal 1 this year would fall on Friday, April 21, went viral on social media recently.
