Months of 28-31 days (UK vs. Saudi/S.Africa)
It is well-known that an Islamic month is either 29 or 30 days (i.e., it's never 28 or 31 days/months). The 1984 UK Moon Sighting criteria, [see video] based on Fatwa Rahimiyyah (vol.10/p.209), states that the moon must be sought on the UK horizon when there is a geographical possibility, before considering any foreign news. The 1447 Hijri table shows that if we start or end the month based on UK moon sightings, then following a far-distant foreign country could lead to 28 or 31-day months! Therefore, it is against the Shariah for the UK to follow a foreign country like Saudi Arabia (SA), South Africa (ZA), or even Morocco (MA) when the moon can be seen in the UK!
