The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has declared that the Eid-el-Fitr celebration for 2024 will take place on Wednesday, April 10th. The announcement came as the new crescent moon wasn’t spotted on Monday, indicating that Ramadan will last for 30 days instead of the previously anticipated 29. Abdullah Al-Khudairi, Saudi Arabia’s chief astronomer, had forewarned about the likelihood of the moon being obscured due to cloudy conditions.
Confirmation of the Eid-el-Fitr Date
Saudi Arabia confirmed that the crescent moon wasn’t sighted, leading to the decision to celebrate Eid-el-Fitr on Wednesday, April 10th. Consequently, Ramadan will conclude on Tuesday, April 9th. This update was shared via a tweet by Haramain, a prominent media outlet in Saudi Arabia.
Tweet Announcement:
“May Allāh ﷻ allow us to utilise the remaining moments of this blessed month to engage in that which pleases Him, may He accept our siyām, qiyām & a’māl & may He allow us to witness many more Ramadāns in good health. Āmīn.”
