Eid Al Fitr To Be Observed Tomorrow, Moon Sighted In Saudi Arabia

Last updated on June 24, 2017 at 6.23 pm


THE Moon-Sighting Committee in Saudi Arabia has announced that today (Saturday, June 24, 2017) will be the last day of Ramadan, and that Sunday (June 25, 2017) will be the first day of the month of Shawwal and the first day of Eid Al Fitr.

The UAE moon-sighting committee has also gathered in Abu Dhabi to sight the crescent in the country. An official announcement on the sighting of the crescent is expected shortly.

Earlier, Sultan bin Saeed Al Badi, UAE Minister of Justice, has issued a decision to set up the moon-sighting committee for the holy month of Ramadan to confirm the start of the month of Shawwal, which will mark the end of Ramadan and start of Eid Al Fitr.

The Committee is meeting with the intention to sight the crescent moon on Saturday, 29th Ramadan after Maghrib prayer, at the Judicial Department in Abu Dhabi.

In Nigeria, it is expected that the Sultan of Sokoto (as the leader of Muslims in the country) will later in the evening collate moon sightings reports in the country and make the appropriate announcements for the Nigerian Muslim Community.

As it is, Nigeria is some two hours behind the Saudi Arabia
