The Ramadan fast
continues today as the new moon (of Shawwal) was not sighted yesterday.
Daily
Trust report continues:
A
statement signed by the chairman, Advisory Committee on Religious Affairs to
the Sultanate Council, Professor Sambo Junaidu Sokoto, said the committee had
not received any news about the new moon, meaning the month of Ramadan would
complete a 30-day circle.
"With
this development, Muslims are expected to fast tomorrow (today) while Sallah
will be next tomorrow (Wednesday July 6), which is equivalent to 1st Shawwal,
1437 AH," it said.
The statement added that the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, who approved the report, prayed Allah to accept all good deeds in this Holy month.
