To Sight the Crescent in a City to the East

29. If the moon is seen in England, is it proved for the countries to the west?

  A: If sighting the moon in a country is inseparable from (possibility of) sighting it in another one, it suffices for the latter. However, it is possible that sighting it in the eastern country is not inseparable from possibility of sighting it in the country to the west due to so much difference in their latitude.

30.If moon is sighted in the eastern countries, is the new moon established for the countries to the west?
A: Although sighting the moon in an eastern country is usually inseparable from possibility of sighting it in the country to the west, sometimes it is not like that due to much difference in their latitude; the criterion is corollary between possibility of moon sighting in the two countries.
