Following the failure to see the crescent moon, Saudi Arabian authorities have declared that Eid-el-Fitr will be observed on Friday, March 20, 2026.
On Wednesday, the announcement was posted on the HaraminInfo social media accounts.
The post read: “The crescent moon has NOT been sighted in Saudi Arabia.
Therefore, #EidAlFitr will be celebrated on Friday, 20th March 2026. May Allāh allow us to utilise the remaining moments of this blessed month to engage in that which pleases Him, may He accept our siyām, qiyām & a’māl and may He allow us to witness many more Ramadāns in good health. Āmīn.”
Nigerians are awaiting the official announcement from the Sultan of Sokoto to confirm the start of the festive celebration locally.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
