Eid Ul Fitr Celebration: NSCIA Releases Names Of Muslim Scholars To Call When The Moon Is Sighted

The Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, has released the names and telephone numbers of members of its moon sighting committee across Nigeria.

Members of that committee are to be contacted if the new moon of “Shawwal” is sighted, according to Islamic tradition.

Sighting of the moon will mark the end of the Ramadan fast, and commencement of the Eid El Fitr Sallah celebration.

The NSCIA leader and Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, had earlier asked Nigerians to look out for the new moon on Saturday, June 24, 2017.

NSCIA, in a statement Saturday, said if the new moon is not sighted anywhere, Nigerians are expected to fast a complete 30 days and Sallah would be celebrated on Monday, June 26, 2017.
