Saudi Arabia announced on Monday that the fasting will continue on Tuesday because the crescent of Shawwal has not been spotted.
It also stated that Eid-El-Fitr would be held on Wednesday, April 10, to commemorate the start of the new Islamic month.
This announcement was made on Haramin’s official Facebook page, which serves as an official venue for the global Muslim community.
“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 Sultan of Sokoto and President General of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Sa’ad Abubakar, to announce later in the day.
