Saudi- Look for Eid crescent tomorrow
(MENAFN- Arab News) RIYADH: The Supreme Court has urged Muslims across the Kingdom to look for the Shawwal crescent soon after the Magreb prayers on Thursday to determine Eid Al-Fitr.
Anyone who sights the crescent on the 29th of Ramadan should register the testimony with the nearest court or report it to a competent authority the top court said on Tuesday.
The court has appointed several committees in all the regions of the Kingdom to receive reports of sighting the crescent.
If the crescent is not sighted anywhere in Saudi Arabia on Thursday Eid will be celebrated on Saturday after completing 30 days of fasting.
Government offices are already closed on account of Eid while the private sector will enjoy the break from Thursday to July 22.
