The Saudi Arabia, on Monday, has indicated that the fasting will continue on Tuesday, as the crescent of Shawwal has not been sighted.
It also announced that the Eid-El-Fitr would be on Wednesday, April 10 to mark the beginning of the new Islamic month.
This disclosure was made on Haramin’s official Facebook page, an official platform for the Muslim community across the world.
“The crescent moon was not sighted in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, Eid Al Fitr will be celebrated on Wednesday, 10th April 2024.
“May Allāh allow us to utilise the remaining moments of this blessed month to engage in that which pleases Him, may He accept our siyām, qiyām & a’māl & may He allow us to witness many more Ramadāns in good health. Āmīn,” it wrote.
However, Nigerian Muslims are expected to wait for the announcement of the Sultan of Sokoto and President General of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Sa’ad Abubakar, later in the day.
