Excellent query Qurat!
Just consider the quotation of urs
"24 hours and some minutes".
Look, region vice it may be like this:
- those(Saudi Arabia, UAE) who have celebrated Eid on Monday had seen the moon in late Sunday evening,
- those who are celebrating Eid on Tuesday had seen it on Monday evening and
- we(Pak, India) who are gonna celebrate Eid on Wednesday missed the moon on Tuesday night because it appeared in the late night hours over our region. So we can see moon in early evening of Tuesday.
Lets see what u ppl would comment but that is my own science...lolz.
Regards
