Saudi Arabia says fasting will continue Tuesday as the crescent of Shawwal has not been sighted in the country.
An official platform for the Muslim community across the world, Haramin posted on Facebook that the Eid-El-Fitr would take place Wednesday.
They wrote: “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 is unclear if this would apply to Nigerian Muslims who may need to wait for the announcement of the Sultan of Sokoto and President General of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Sa’ad Abubakar on Monday night.
