MUSLIMS in the country are advised not to be influenced by the news that the first day of Syawal in some foreign countries will fall on Friday (April 21).
Perak deputy mufti Zamri Hashim said the date of Aidilfitri in Malaysia would be decided based on Ikmanur Rukyah (possibility of sighting the Syawal new moon) which depends on observations that would be conducted on April 20.
