The moon-sighting committee in Saudi Arabia said on Tuesday that the crescent of the month of Shawwal could not be sighted from the Tamir observatory as well as from the observatory of Majmaah University in Hautat Sudair, meaning the month of Ramadan this year will be 30 days and the first day of Eid Al-Fitr will be celebrated on Thursday (May 13). Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court had called on all Muslims throughout the Kingdom to sight the crescent of the month of Shawwal on Tuesday evening (May 11). In a statement on Sunday, the Supreme Court called on whoever sights the crescent by naked eyes or through binoculars to report to the nearest court and register his testimony, or report to the nearest center to help reach the nearest court. — SG
