Sokoto Cleric Leads Eid Prayer Despite Sultan’s Directive on Moon Sighting

A prominent Islamic cleric in Sokoto, Sheikh Musa Lukuwa, conducted the Eid prayer with his followers despite the directive of the Sultan of Sokoto that the crescent moon of Shawwal had not been sighted.

Sheikh Lukuwa explained that his decision was based on credible reports confirming the sighting of the moon in the Republic of Niger.

He noted that Niger, being a neighboring country to Sokoto, provides a reasonable basis for accepting such moon-sighting reports, similar to how reports from other regions are sometimes recognized.

The cleric emphasized that his action was guided by his religious understanding and not intended to challenge the authority of the Sultan. According to him, once the moon sighting is verified, it becomes obligatory to act in accordance with Islamic teachings.

Traditionally, the Sultan of Sokoto serves as the spiritual leader for Muslims in Nigeria, responsible for officially announcing the beginning and end of Ramadan to ensure unity among the faithful. However, differences in interpretation regarding moon sighting occasionally lead to disagreements over the timing of Eid celebrations in some areas.
