For Nigerians, the new month of shawwal has been sighted which marks the end of Ramadan Africa Independent Television: The new month of Shawwal was sighted in different places within Nigeria and therefore tomorrow (Sunday) is the first day of Shawwal equivalent to 27 July 2014. SULTAN OF SOKOTO https://m.facebook/story.php?story_fbid=708760235859458&id=129804217088399&refid=17 Those of you whose fast is 28 dont fast please, Ramadan had ended, what you expected to do is to make up the fast later, it is out-rightly forbidden to fast on Eid day. Narrated / Authority Of: Ziyad bin Jubair A man went to Ibn Umar I. and said, A man vowed to fast one day (the sub-narrator thinks that he said that the day was Monday), and that day happened to be Eid day. Ibn Umar said, Allah orders vows to be fulfilled and the Prophet forbade the fasting on this day (i.e. Eid). Sahih Bukhari, Chapter no: 31, Fasting Hadith no: 214 Narrated / Authority Of: Abu Said The Prophet forbade the fasting of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Adha (two feast days) and also the wearing of As-Samma (a single garment covering the whole body), and sitting with ones leg drawn up while being wrapped in one garment. He also forbade the prayers after the Fajr (morning) and the Asr (afternoon) prayers. Sahih Bukhari, Chapter no: 31, Fasting Hadith no: 212 Those of you following other countries fasting like saudi arabia are on your own, In fiqh us sunnah, Volume 3, Page 112: it says that every country has its own different moon sighting. According to Ikrimah, al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, Salim, Ishaq, the correct opinion among the Hanafiyyah, and the chosen opinion among the Shafiyyah, every country (or territory) is to take into consideration its own sighting and not necessarily to follow the sighting of others. This is based on what Kuraib said: While I was in ash-Sham, the new moon of Ramadan appeared on Thursday night. I retumed to Madinah at the end of the month. There, Ibn Abbas asked me: When did you people see the new moon? I said: We saw it on Thursday night. He said: Did you see it yourself? I said: Yes, the people saw it, and they and Muawiyyyah fasted. He said: But we saw it on Friday night. We will not stop fasting until we complete thirty days or until we see the new moon. I said: Isnt Muawiyyahs sighting and fasting sufficient for you? He said: No . . . This is the order of the Messenger of Allah. This is related by Ahmad, Muslim, and at-Tirmizhi. About the hadith, at-Timmizhi says: It is hassan sahih ghareeb. Scholars act in accordance with this hadith. Every land has its sighting. In Fath al-Alam Sharh Bulugh al-Maram, it is stated: The [opinion] closest [to the truth] is that each land follows its sighting, as well as the areas that are connected to it.
