Benefit:
Eid is a collective act of worship.
Therefore, even if a person is in doubt regarding the sighting of the moon or its absence, he should still celebrate Eid together with the general Muslims. For this reason, a large number of witnesses has not been stipulated for the confirmation of the moon; rather, reliance is placed upon the testimony of two trustworthy individuals.
