Ramadan Begins On Saturday? by tintingz(m): 11:37am On Jul 19, 2012 |
South-West Moonsighting Committee has said the 2012 Ramaddan will begin on Saturday.Co-chairman of the committee, Sheikh Habib El-iloriy and Sheikh AbdulAzeez Ishola, said in a statement on Wednesday the pronouncement was based on Islamic Sharia complemented with astronomical calculations. The committee said, “Any claim of crescent sighting is either imaginary caused by enthusiasm or visionary error and such should not be honoured because crescent sighting either by telescope or with naked eyes is not possible in lesser than between 15hrs and 17-23hrs after conjunction.” It however, said in Nigeria, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Abubakar Saad, had the final verdict on Ramadan.Meanwhile, the National Youth Service Corps has suspended all physical and social activities in orientation camps to allow Muslim corps members observe the Ramadan. A statement by the NYSC headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday said all corps members were however to remain in camp until July 23.The statement read, “All physical and social activities in the on-going 2012 Batch ‘B’ Orientation Course nationwide are to end on Thursday, July 19, 2012. “The decision by the NYSC Management is in anticipation of the commencement of Ramadan fast on Friday, July 20, or Saturday, July 21, 2012.” http://www.punchng.com/news/ramadan-begins-on-saturday/ |
