ramadan kareem to all! i am so glad that the moon was actually seen in some places, otherwise i was going to have a hard time deciding whether to fast on saturday with the masjid or on sunday... this, of course, didn't stop some people from deciding to fast sunday anyway 
by the way, mansoor pointed me to this video on the isna page where dr. muzammil siddiqi talks about the reason for the fiqh council's decision. good watch.

Salaam.
After watching the video, I was directed to another link. It’s an article by Shaykh Hamza from the Zaytuna Institute. It makes a great argument on why not to follow the Fiqh Council’s decision. Both sides have their arguments.
Be sure to read both Part 1 and 2.
