Newsonline reports that the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, on Wednesday, declared July 9 as Eid al-Adha.
Also known as Sallah, Eid al-Adha will feature the slaughtering of rams during the period known as the “festival of sacrifice”.
This is the second significant celebration in Islam.
The first is Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.
In a statement issued by the National Moonsighting Committee, the Sultan urged Muslims to intensify prayers during the period.
It also declared Thursday, June 30, as the first day of Dhul Hijjah.
“Eidul Adha will be on Saturday, 10th Zul-Hijjah 1443H (9th July 2022) In Sha Allah,” the statement read in part.
