Furthermore, he explained, if people really understand, there is no problem in determining the difference of Ramadhan 1, Shawwal 1 and Eid al-Adha. Because, in terms of the calculation and the method be used are the same method with different criteria.
"For instance, Muhammadiyah use wujudul hilal method. Meanwhile, the government, NU and Persis are using inkanur rukyat method. That's what I mean about different criteria,” he said.
