Eid Ul Fitr Moon Sighting Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia Supreme Court and the moon sighting committees in the UAE, Qatar and other Arab states have already announced that Muslims in these countries will celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr on Monday May 2, 2022

Since the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and European countries rely on moon announcement by Saudi Arabia Royal Court, Muslims there will also mark Eid celebrations with the Gulf states.

Given that Muslims across India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and other South Asian countries are gearing up to look for the Shawwal crescent – the new moon to mark the end of Ramadan, on May 1, there might be a rarest of rare case that the followers of Islam may get a chance to celebrate this year’s Eid-ul Fitr with their Muslim brethren in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, UK, USA and other Gulf and western countries, if moon is sighted tomorrow in South Asian countries.

Under perfect weather conditions, the Shawwal crescent is expected to be visible in London, Morocco, South Africa, Spain and other countries on May 1, 2022. If authentic moon sighting reports are received, Eid-ul-Fitr 2022 will be celebrated on Monday 2, 2022 in these countries.

As per the latest announcements in Turkey, Egypt and Iraq, Sunday will be the last day of Ramadan 2022 and Monday May 2 will be the first day of Shawwal and Eid Al Fitr 2022.
