A section of Muslims defied the Chief Kadhi, Sharif Ahmed Muhdhar and yesterday celebrated Idd Ul Fitr, a festival that marks the end of Ramadhan, a month-long fasting period.
On Wednesday night, Muhdhar said the Hilal (moon crescent) had not been sighted in Kenya or Tanzania and urged Muslims to fast on Thursday to complete the prescribed 30 days of Ramadhan.
In Mombasa, Catholic Archbishop Martin Kivuva and Anglican Church Bishop Alphonso Mwaro Baya joined Muslim clerics for the celebrations at Masjid Swalihina in Kisauni.

Only seven months to end of the Chief Kadhi s term, debate has intensified among the Muslim community on possible successor.
Already sharp differences have merged about the process, with some clerics claiming the seat has since 1852 been a preserve of one coastal community.
Kenya Muslims National Advisory Council national chairman Sheikh Juma Ngao yesterday said the process to recruit the holder of the office should be competitive. We will move to court to block unfair selection. Muslims from all the 47 counties who qualify should be given an opportunity. This cannot be a seat for the Coast only,” he said.
