Fasting may continue in Nigeria — Sultan of Sokoto

Published on March 29, 2025 at 06:06 PM

The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, under the leadership of His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, has declared that fasting may continue on Sunday as the moon signalling the end of Ramadan has not been sighted in Nigeria.

The NSCIA made this known in a statement signed by its Secretary-General, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, on Saturday.

He also enjoined Muslims to search for the crescent of Shawwal on the 29th of Ramadan, stressing: “If Muslims sight the crescent in accordance with the moon sighting and verification standards, then His Eminence will declare Sunday, 30 March 2025, as the 1st of Shawwal and the day of Eid ul-Fitr.”;
