Ramadan Commences Monday As Crescent Moon Sighted In Saudi Arabia
The crescent moon has been sighted in Saudi Arabia, signalling the beginning of the Ramadan fasting on Monday.
The moon was reportedly spotted on Sunday evening, which means March 10 is the last day of the month of Sha’ban that precedes Ramadan.
Ramadan fasting is determined by the lunar Islamic calendar in which months span either 29 or 30 days.
Muslims across the globe commence and conclude fasting in the month based on the sighting of the crescent moon.

The Sultan made the announcement in a statement issued by Salisu Shehu, deputy secretary general of the Nigerian Supreme Council For Islamic Affairs (NSCIA).
The statement said the fast will begin automatically on Tuesday if the moon is not sighted on Sunday.
