Azhar denies Morocco Eid celebration remarks
Undersecretary of al-Azhar Abbas Shoman
Cairo - MENA
Undersecretary of Al-Azhar Abbas Shoman said Al-Azhar did not issue any statements related to celebrations of Eid Al-Adha in Morocco
Unlike most Muslim countries, where the holiday was celebrated on Saturday, Morocco celebrated Eid Al-Adha on Sunday.
Since the Islamic months are dated according to the Islamic lunar calendar, the dates of religious celebrations may vary depending on the time a country observes the moon, he said.
Shoman said that sighting of the new moon differs from one country to another. Thus, each country has its own way to determine the beginning each Hijri month.
He added that there is no compulsion or obligation that Muslims must mark Eid al-Adha on the same day.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
