In Saudi Arabia, the start of the holy month had been cast into doubt after some of the kingdom’s observatories reported that the moon was obscured by “cloudy weather and dust particles”. — AFP picRIYADH, March 11 — The Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan will begin today, Saudi Arabia and other Middle East nations announced, against a backdrop of devastating war in Gaza.
As he announced Tuesday as the start of Ramadan in Jordan, the kingdom’s Grand Mufti Ahmed Hasnat asked God to “relieve the anguish of our oppressed people in Gaza” and “lift affliction and aggression from them”.During Ramadan, observant Muslims refrain from eating and drinking from dawn to dusk, and traditionally gather with family and friends to break their fast in the evening.
At a market in Rafah, the southern Gaza city where nearly 1.5 million people have sought refuge, Palestinians on Sunday bemoaned food shortages and wartime uncertainty hanging over the holy month. Hassnan added that instead of spending Ramadan in their homes, “it is clear that we will live in displacement, pain and oppression.”
