Rulings on the Sightings of the Eid al-Adha Crescent

Question
What are the rulings on the sightings of the Eid al-Adha crescent?
Answer
The sighting of the crescent moon for Eid al-Adha has the same rulings as the sighting of the crescent moon for Ramadan; it is necessary to have a sufficient number of witnesses along with a valid reason, and the majority must be gathered with clarity in the most accurate opinion, as mentioned in the explanation of Al-Wiqayah, page 236.
