RIYADH: The Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia on Saturday called on all Muslims throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to sight the crescent of the month of Shawwal, which marks the end of a month-long fasting of Ramadan and the beginning of the Eid al-Fitr.
The Supreme Court said that anyone who sights the crescent moon with their eyes or through binoculars should report the sighting to the nearest court and register their testimony.
If the crescent moon of Shawwal is spotted on Monday evening, Eid al-Fitr will fall on Tuesday. If there is no sighting of the crescent moon, Ramadan will last for 30 days and Eid will fall on Wednesday.
