As Salaamu Alaikoum,

In regards to the moonsighting:

It was announced tonight in Mekkah Mukarramah that the crescent moon of the month of Dhul Hijjah was officialy sighted,

thus making Sunday , corresponding to 02 February 2003, the first day of the month of Dhul Hijjah.

Thus, the Day of Arafat, 9 Dhul Hijjah, will be on Monday, corresponding to 10 February 2003.

Thus the Eid will be on Tuesday..

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
