RIYADH : Saudi Arabia has declared Wednesday, April 10, as the first day of Eid Al Fitr, after the crescent Moon was not spotted on Monday evening. The Kingdom announced that the holy month of Ramadan would, therefore, last 30 days this year.
Earlier, Saudi’s Supreme Court had asked faithful across the country to sight the crescent moon on the 29th of Ramadan which corresponds with Monday, April 8, 2024 on the Gregorian calendar. (Khaleej Times)
