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.

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.
