Saudi Arabia Confirms Start of Ramadan on March 1, Other Gulf Countries Follow Suit

By correspondent in Lokoja.

Saudi Arabia has officially declared that the holy month of Ramadan will commence on Saturday, March 1, following the sighting of the Ramadan crescent moon within the Kingdom.

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, marks a period of fasting, prayer, and reflection for Muslims worldwide.

In a statement, the Saudi Royal Court confirmed that Taraweeh prayers would be held on the evening of March 1 at Masjid Bin Bāz, after the Esha prayer.

Other countries in the Gulf region, including Qatar and Oman, have also announced that Ramadan will begin on March 1.

Fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, and it is obligatory for all healthy Muslims.

However, exemptions are made for children, the sick, travelers, and women who are pregnant, nursing, or menstruating.

For centuries, Muslims have followed the tradition of moon sighting to determine the start of Ramadan and the major Islamic holidays, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

During this month, working hours for both public and private sector employees, as well as schoolchildren, are typically reduced.
