Saudi Arabia announced, Eid Al-Fitr will start on Sunday

The KSA moon sighting committee announced that the crescent moon was not sighted in the skies of the KSA, hence Saturday will be the 30th of Ramadan.

Eid will be on Sunday.

Saudi Arabia also confirmed that it was not possible to see the crescent of moon. Hence Sunday will likely be the first day of Eid. An official decision of the Supreme Court is pending on the issue.

This year’s Eid Al Fitr prayer will be performed at home to ensure safety, as mosques across the country will remain closed due to the precautionary measures to contain the spread of Covid-19. The authorities urged public to avoid social gatherings and follow social distancing guidelines.
