RIYADH, July 4, (APP/AFP) – The Muslim feast of
Eid al-Fitr marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan will start on Wednesday in Gulf states and Yemen, religious authorities in both
countries announced.
The crescent moon which marks the new lunar month was not sighted
on Monday night, and Tuesday would therefore be considered the 30th and final day of Ramadan.
The official news agencies of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab
Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Yemen all quoted religious authorities as saying that the annual feast will begin on Wednesday.
