Ramadan moon sighting 2024 In Nigeria

The month of Ramadan is special to Muslims around the world, who observe this holy time with devotion and enthusiasm.

The Muslim calendar is lunar-based, which means that the dates for Ramadan can vary from year to year, depending on when the new moon arrives after sunset.

When the new moon has been sighted, Muslims can break their fast during the evening meal of Iftar; until then, they abstain from food and drink during daylight hours throughout the month.

has the Moon Been Sighted in nigeria for Ramadan 2024?

No! the moon has not been sighted for ramdan 2024. But we will update this article once the committee has announced it. So bookmark this page for you not to missed it.

Here’s how to know if Ramadan in Nigeria will start with sighting of the moon by local religious leaders…

First Sighting

The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee of Nigeria, which is responsible for sighting and announcing moon sightings on behalf of all Nigerian states, announced on Sunday, 1 April, that it had not yet sighted the moon. The decision was made as no delegate from any state could sight it despite round-the-clock efforts at several locations, media reports quoted a spokesman as saying. The holy month of Ramadan is expected to begin on 2nd april across Africa.

Second Sighting

This is based on a historical rule where if at least one crescent moon hasn’t been sighted for 30 days before Ramadan, then Eid can be celebrated on 30th day of Dhu al-Hijjah. This rule was adopted by most Muslim countries. Nowadays, with lots of Muslims travelling or living abroad and even satellite sighting, we might see many second sightings around Eid ul-Fitr all over the world – some will celebrate while others won’t.

Last Sighting

The last sighting of the moon was July 25th, 2017. The crescent moon can be sighted after sunset on Saturday, July 29th, 2017. Eid-ul-Fitr will therefore start Sunday, July 30th and last until August 7th, 2017.

When Is Ramadan 2024?

Although dates differ slightly from one Muslim country to another, you can expect that Ramadan will begin on April 2 or 3 (depending on whether it is an odd- or even-numbered year).

The festival that celebrates Eid al-Fitr (aka Eid or Eid ul-Fitr) marks when Muslims believe fasting ends.

Some countries’ dates are set so that all people who follow lunar calendars will have finished fasting around the same time (see below).
