The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, on Wednesday called on Muslims to lookout for the moon of Rabi’ul Awwal.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Religious Affairs of the Sultanate Council, Prof. Sambo Wali Junaidu, in Sokoto.
The statement said: “Friday, December 11, equivalent to 29th day of Safar, 1437AH shall be the day to look for the new moon of Rabi’ul Awwal.”
Junaidu, therefore, requested Muslims to look out for the moon on Friday and report its sighting to the nearest District or Village Head.
