Eid ul Fitr 2025 in Saudi Arabia Expected on March 30 or 31

The UAE Fatwa Council and Saudi Supreme Court have announced that the moon sighting for Eidul Fitr will take place on Saturday, March 29, 2025, to confirm the end of Ramadan and the start of Eidul Fitr celebrations in Saudi Arabia and other countries.

The Saudi Supreme Court has instructed the Moon-Sighting Committee to convene after sunset on March 29 to assess the reports of crescent moon sightings and officially announce the start of Eidul Fitr. The exact date of Eid ul-Fitr 2025 in Saudi Arabia will depend on the sighting of the crescent moon, with celebrations expected to begin on either March 30 or 31.

In other countries, such as India, Ramadan started on March 2, and Eid ul-Fitr is expected to be celebrated on March 31 or April 1, depending on the moon sighting. The Islamic calendar follows the lunar cycle, and the beginning of any Hijri month is determined by the appearance of the crescent moon. Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting, prayer, and reflection, and is celebrated as a time of gratitude, charity, and community gatherings.

The confirmation of the Eid ul-Fitr date will bring joy to millions of Muslims around the world, who will come together with family and friends to celebrate the end of Ramadan and the beginning of the new month of Shawwal. The celebrations will include traditional foods, prayers, and acts of charity, as Muslims mark the occasion with gratitude and reflection.
