Ramadan fast continues Wednesday as Saudi Arabia agency declares no sight of crescent moon
Haramain Sharifain, an Islamic agency in Saudi Arabia, has declared that fasting in the month of Ramadan continues on Wednesday while Eid-Al-Fitr will be held on Thursday, May 13.
Since April 13, Muslims across world have abstained from eating, drinking, and any form of sexual relationship from dawn till dusk.
This is as a result of fasting during the holy month of Ramadan — one of the five pillars of Islam.
Ramadan can either run for 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of a new crescent moon.
As this year’s Ramadan nears its end, astronomers have been engaging in careful observation for a new moon to determine the day of Eid-Al-Fitr.
In a tweet on Tuesday, Haramain Sharifain announced that Ramadan will last for 30 days.
It said the conclusion was derived from the findings of astronomers positioned at different locations in Saudi Arabia, including Sumair and Tumair.
