The Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia has asked Muslims in the Kingdom and the rest of the globe to observe the crescent moon of the Arabic month Dhu Al Hijjah on Thursday evening.
VeonewsNG understands that this observation would help determine the start of the final month of the Hijri calendar and the exact day of the Eid Al Adha festival.
If Friday, June 7, is confirmed as the first day of Dhu Al Hijjah, Eid Al Al Adha will fall on Sunday, June 16,” Saudi Arabia noted in a terse statement on Wednesday.
The judiciary has asked people who can see the crescent moon, whether without glasses or with binoculars, to come to the closest court and share their accounts.
It said the individuals or groups should record their accounts or contact the closest office to assist them in getting to the closest court.
