We used to hear every year slight changes of the day/date of Moon-sight on either start fasting and stop fasting during Ramzan / Ramadan month of Islamic calendar. This year (2013) also the same, some scholars in Saudi Arabia University started to argue that Moon-sight could be on Tuesday evening (6th Aug 2013) itself and some says needs to wait and subject to reality as they have delayed one day while starting Ramzan month and fasting subsequently. However, they are comfortable now and declared Eid-ul Fitr on 8th Aug 2013 in Saudi Arabia and some other parts of Gulf countries.
Back to home, in India, most probably Ramzan Eid will be celebrated on 9th Aug 2013 (Friday) with most greeting all over. As usual, some parts in India, they are still following the same method as done in Saudi Arabia / Gulf region, it means Indian Muslims from some parts would be celebrated Eid on 8th Aug 2013 itself as done in Gulf. and the rest will be celebrated on the next of 9th Aug 2013. This time, almost 29 fasting covered and this is normal either fasting would be of 29 or 30 every year as it is subject to Moon-sight and some natural reason.
Additional info: Fasting time start earlier to Sunrise and Fasting time ends after Sunset, though there are natural and potential benefit in fasting, people would like to fast per the commandment of their Prophet and God.
