Muhammad Afifi al-Akiti (MCW member) from Oxford, UK, reported: Not Seen
Negative sighting in Oxford. The two of us attempted moonsighting at our usual site at the end of the 29th day of Jumada II (Sunday, 15 July 2007). The horizon was overcast and the crescent could not be sighted. However, We received reports of positive sightings from the East. Knowledge of these positive sightings in the East, despite not being able to sight locally in the UK, is sufficient for us to establish the month Rajab for the UK to be tomorrow, Monday, the 16th of July. This is by following the default rule [dabit] in Islamic Law in this matter that whenever it is known that the crescent has been positively sighted in the East, local sighting inevitably follows, but not the other way round [mata hasalati r-ru'yatu fi l-sharqi lazima ru'yatuhu fi l-gharbi wa la-'aks].

Although I could see Venus with no problem, the sky was hazy overall and cloudy specifically in the lower part of the western horizon making it very difficult if not impossible for sighting the crescent moon in Blacksburg, VA on Sunday (July 15, 2007). However, using a pair of 7X50 binoculars, I scanned the western horizon (the space between Venus and the cloud line) for several minutes with no success.
