SAUDI SUPREME COURT DIRECTS MUSLIMS WITHIN KINGDOM TO LOOK OUT FOR DHUL HIJJAH MOON THURSDAY

By Ajape Sefiu A.

Saudi Arabia’s Supreme Court has called on Muslims in the Kingdom to look out for Dhul Hijjah Crescent on Thursday evening.

The court requested that anyone who sights the crescent, with their naked eye or through binoculars, notify the court nearest to them and register their testimony.

Alternatively, they could call the nearest center, which would direct them to the nearest court.

Dhul Hijjah is the month during which Hajj takes place and the pilgrimage starts on the 8th of the month and ends on the 12th.
