<h2>The Eid-el-Fitr celebration marking the end of Ramadan fasting will be celebrated on Wednesday, April 10, 2024, as a new moon was not sighted on Monday, April 8, 2024.</h2>

<p>As a result, Muslims are expected to fast for one more day to complete their 30 days of spiritual abstinence in the holy month.</p>

<p>According to the information provided by the official X handle of HaramainInfo quoted by <strong>Aljazeera,</strong> the 2024 Eid-el-Fitr will be celebrated on Wednesday because the Shaawal moon was not sighted.</p>

<p>The tweet reads, “<em>The crescent moon was NOT sighted in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, Eid Al Fitr will be celebrated on Wednesday, 10th April 2024. May Allāh ﷻ allow us to utilise the remaining moments of this blessed month to engage in that which pleases Him, may He accept our siyām, qiyām &amp; a’māl &amp; may He allow us to witness many more Ramadāns in good health. Āmīn.”</em></p>

<p>Another Saudi-based X handle, Inside The Haramain, a Twitter page dedicated to news publications about the two sanctuaries in Islam, (Mecca and Medina) confirmed that the crescent was not sighted on Monday, meaning Muslims will have to complete 30 days of fasting this year.</p>

<div class="embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">BREAKING NEWS: Eid Al Fitr 1445/2024 is on Wednesday, 10 April 2024.<br><br>The Crescent was NOT SEEN in the Kingdom today <a href="https://t.co/6L455GysPh">pic.twitter.com/6L455GysPh</a></p>&mdash; Inside the Haramain (@insharifain) <a href="https://twitter.com/insharifain/status/1777353747296858137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 8, 2024</a></blockquote>

<p>Meanwhile, the Federal Government had on Sunday, April 7, 2024, announced Tuesday and Wednesday as public holidays.</p>

<p>The holidays were ostensibly announced with the hope that Ramadan fasting would end on Monday.</p>

<p>However, with this development, the FG may be forced to add one more day to the already-announced public holiday for Muslims to enjoy their end-of-Ramadan celebration.</p>
