France, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and Australia have announced that they will be celebrating Eid al Fitr on Sunday, May 24, 2020, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. Morocco will still have to observe a moonsight before announcing the end of Ramadan.
Ramadan and the lockdown have been a difficult combination for those who do not observe the holy month and are currently confined with their families. While some of them manage to circumvent the situation, others have had their choices tolerated and sometimes accepted by their loved ones.
While several countries will observe the new crescent moon on Thursday, others have already announced the first day of Ramadan.
In a few days, Muslims around the world will be observing Ramadan despite the international coronavirus health crisis. In Morocco, the current situation has brought changes to the religious discourse, which is adapting to the exceptional circumstances.
Days before the start of Ramadan, Muslim scholars from several Arab countries have been trying to answer questions related to Taraweeh prayers during the coronavirus health crisis. One of these questions is whether virtual Taraweeh prayers are Sharia-compliant or not.
