The directive was conveyed through a statement on Tuesday by the Sultanate Council and signed by the Waziri of Sokoto and Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Religious Affairs, Professor Sambo Junaidu, urging Muslims nationwide to begin moon sighting and report any sightings to their nearest District or Village Head.

These reports are to be forwarded to the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar for official confirmation.

The sighting of the new moon of Sha’aban is a significant Islamic practice, as Sha’aban is the month preceding Ramadan, the holy month of fasting.

The declaration of the new moon marks the start of Sha’aban and aids Muslims in preparing for Ramadan.
