During Ramadan, non-Muslims in the state have been cautioned by the Kano State Hisbah Board Department of Public Enlightenment not to eat in public locations.
The Director-General of the Board, Abba Sai’Idu made this known in a chat with AIT Live.
He said that it is unlawful for Christians and other non-Muslims to eat openly or do anything publicly that would undermine the Islamic religion or put those fasting into temptation by their actions.
The Hisbah Boss further stated that the enforcement team was now conducting more frequent patrols across the city to arrest any Muslim observed engaging in any practice that is not in according with Islamic culture during the holy month.
During the Holy Month of Ramadan, Muslims are expected to abstain from eating, drinking, sex and smoking during the daytime and other acts not allowed by the Holy Quran.
In previous years, the Kano State Hisbah Board have been known to arrest people seen eating during Ramadan.
