Muslims asked to look for new moon on Wednesday

The National Hilal Committee of Ghana on Monday asked Muslims to look for the new moon at around sunset on Wednesday, 04 December.

A statement signed by Sheikh Mahmoud Gedel, Acting Chairman, said if the new moon were not sighted, then Thursday, 05 December would be the last day of Ramadan. When this happens, Eid-Ul-Fitr would be celebrated on Friday, 06 December. Muslims started their obligatory fasting of Ramadan on Wednesday, 04 November.
