Saudi Arabia has announced that the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr marking the end of the Ramadan fasting period will begin on Sunday.
The Supreme Court has decided that tomorrow, Sunday, March 30, 2025, is the first day of Eid al-Fitr,” the Royal Court said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency on X.
The timing of Eid al-Fitr is determined by the sighting of the crescent moon in accordance with the Muslim lunar calendar.
The United Arab Emirates and Qatar also announced Sunday would be the first day of the holiday.
Meanwhile Oman and Shiite-majority Iran said that Eid al-Fitr would start on Monday. (Channels Television)
