Riyadh: Saudi Arabia’s Supreme Court called on all Muslims throughout the Kingdom to look for the crescent moon of Ramadan on Tuesday evening.
The court requested that anyone who sights the crescent moon, whether with the naked eye or using binoculars, to report it to the nearest court and register their testimony or contact the nearest center for assistance in reaching the nearest court, Saudi Press Agency reported.
The court hopes that those capable of sighting the crescent will join the committees formed in their regions for this purpose, benefiting all Muslims.
Tuesday corresponds to Shabaan 29. If the crescent moon is sighted on Tuesday night, Ramadan will start on Wednesday. If the crescent is not sighted, Ramadan will start on Thursday and there will be 30 days in Shabaan.–(Arab News)
