Will Gambia fast too? Moon crescent seen in Saudi Arabia

The moon crescent for the month Ramadan has been sighted in Saudi Arabia, a development that will see Ramadan fasting start on Tuesday in the country.

The crescent was seen on Tumair, according to reports from Saudi Arabia.

Gambian scholars have over the years advocated for the nation to fast alongside Saudi Arabia. Yet over the weekend, the nation’s Supreme Islamic Council issued a statement asking Gambians to share any information about the moon with officials of the council when they look for it on Monday.
