Sallah: Sultan Declares July 9 Eid Al-Adha
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 ram during the period known as the “festival of sacrifice”.

This is the second significant celebration in Islam.

In a statement issued by the National Moonsighting Committee, the Sultan urged Muslims to intensify prayers during the period.
The first is Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.

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.
