Sheikh Muhdhar said the crescent moon was sighted in Lamu, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadhan.
Therefore we will mark our celebrations on Sunday,” said Sheikh Muhdhar.
However, Sheikh Muhdhar dismissed the reports saying it was not possible for the crescent moon to be sighted on the 28th day of Ramadhan.
In his message, Sheikh Muhdhar urged Muslims to mark the Idd prayers at home and not to gather in mosques or open air grounds.
On this day, Muslims start the day by eating dates or snacks before leaving their homes to take part in Idd prayers in mosques and open grounds.
