RIYADH: The Eidil Fitr marking the end of the holy month of Ramazan is to start on Sunday in Saudi Arabia, the home of Islam’s holiest sites, the kingdom’s religious authorities announced.
In a statement carried by Saudi media, they said the crescent which marks the new lunar month was not sighted on Friday night and that Saturday would as a result be considered the 30th and final day of the dawn-to-dusk month of fasting.
Qatar and Yemen also announced a Sunday start to the Eid, while religious authorities in Libya later announced the same starting date.
