Ramzan moon sighted, Muslims to begin month of fasting from Saturday

 

NEW DELHI: Ramzan, the Islamic month of prayers and fasting, will begin from Saturday in India amid a lockdown in force due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Ramzan moon was sighted on Friday, clerics said.

Every year the sighting of the Ramzan moon brings great cheer for Muslims as they scamper to make preparations for fasting and head to mosques to begin special ‘Taraweeh’ prayers, but not this time. (AGENCIES)
