Ramadan moon sighted in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia on Sunday evening declared the sighting of the Ramazan moon. People in Saudi Arabia will observe their first fast on Monday (tomorrow).

Saudi Arabia is generally the first country to see the moon for Islamic months, which is shadowed by other Arab, Middle Eastern and Western countries.

Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and other Asian countries usually mark the beginning of a new month a day after Saudi Arabia. Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee and regional committees will meet on Monday (tomorrow) to announce the decision on moon sighting after appraising observers from across the country.
