The Royal Court announced on Saturday that the Supreme Court has declared Sunday, March 30, 2025, as the first day of Shawwal and Eid Al Fitr for the year 1446 AH.
The decision came after the crescent moon of Shawwal was sighted in several locations across the Kingdom, marking the end of Ramadan and the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal.
Eid Al Fitr will be observed across Saudi Arabia with special prayers on Sunday morning, followed by festive celebrations with family and community.
The UAE and Qatar have also confirmed Sunday as the first day of Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan.
Meanwhile Oman and Iran said that Eid al-Fitr would start on Monday, March 31, 2025.
Nigeria Muslims are awaiting sultan of Sokoto and President of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, His Eminence Sa’ad Abubakar, announcement on the possible sighting of the moon in Nigeria or not later tonight.
