Muslims in the State will celebrate Id-ul-Fitr on Tuesday after completing 30 days of Ramzan fasting. It-ul-Fitr is the culmination of the Islamic holy month of Ramzan.
Although people as well as the Kazis eagerly waited for the sighting of the Shawwal new-moon on Sunday evening, the crescent was sighted nowhere in the State. After nearly 90 minutes’ wait, Kazis declared Monday as the 30th day of Ramzan and Tuesday as the day of Id-ul-Fitr.
Leading among the Kazis were Grand Mufti of India Kanthapuram A.P. Aboobacker Musliar, Madin Academy Chairman Syed Ibrahim Khaleel Bukhari, Samastha Kerala Jamiyyathul Ulama president Syed Mohammed Jifri Muthukoya Thangal, secretary K. Alikutty Musliar, Indian Union Muslim League State president Syed Sadikali Shihab Thangal, M.T. Abdulla Musliar, and Kozhikode Kazi Syed Mohammed Koya Jamalullaili Thangal.
