The Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, has declared Saturday, March 1st, 2025 as the first day of Ramadan 1446AH.
He said the declaration was based on the sighting of the moon in almost every part of the country earlier on Friday which is the 29th day of the Month of Shaban and thereby signifies March 1st as the first day of Ramadan 1446.
“We got the information from Muslim leaders across the country and we accept the sighting of the moon accordingly,” the Sultan said.
Abubakar called on the entire Muslim community in the country to start the Ramadan fast on Monday following the teachings of Islam.
Saudi Arabia on Friday announced the sighting of the Ramadan crescent in the Kingdom.
