Abubakar said following the advice of the National Moon Sighting Committee (NMSC), the crescent of Shawwal should be searched for on Tuesday, 11 May 2021,equivalent to 29 Ramadan, 1442 AH.
âIn preparation for the 1442 AH âIdul-Fitri celebrations, the National Moon Sighting Committee (NMSC) of the NSCIA has advised the President-General that the crescent of Shawwal should be searched for on Tuesday, 11th May 2021 equivalent to 29 Ramadan, 1442 AH.
âIf the crescent is actually sighted by informed persons on Tuesday night and His Eminence is so advised by the experts, he would address the Press to declare Wednesday, 12 May 2021 as the first day of Shawwal (âId day).
âIf, however, the crescent is not sighted on Tuesday night, Thursday, 13 May 2021, automatically becomes the first of Shawwal, 1442 AH (âId day).
âA press statement to that effect would be issued on Tuesday night,â he said.
