The Mauritanians receive the blessed month of Ramadan with customs and rituals that differ from one region to another, and families are still adhering to a revival and blessed with the holy month.
Among the most prominent of these habits and rituals shaving the hair of the heads of children and men during the first days of Ramadan, so that the growth of the hair of the child’s head coincides with the end of the month, and they call it “Ramadan hair”.
Families are postponed their weddings to the month of Ramadan in optimism, contrary to what is happening in most Islamic countries around the world.
One of the best customs, despite its difficulties is the habit that the Mauritanian people make, as they are keen to read the entire Holy Quran in one night.
