Saudi Arabia has declared that Eid-Fitr-will commence on Sunday following the sighting of the Shawwal crescent moon on Saturday evening.

The moon-sighting committee convened after Maghrib prayers and confirmed the visibility of the new moon, signalling the conclusion of Ramadan after 29 days of fasting. This follows the Islamic tradition of determining the beginning of a new month based on lunar observation, reports Gulf News.

An official statement from the Royal Court is anticipated to confirm that Saturday marks the final day of Ramadan, while Sunday will be observed as Eid Al Fitr throughout the Kingdom, it said.

Eid prayers in the country are set to take place early Sunday morning at over 15,948 mosques and 3,939 open-air prayer grounds across all regions of the country, as families come together to celebrate one of Islam’s most joyous and spiritually significant occasions. - UNB
