Eid-ul-Fitr vacations dates
The Ruet-e-Hilal Research Council (RHRC) stated earlier in April that the possibilities of Eidul Fitr 2023 coming on April 21, Friday were slim because the new crescent will be born at 9:13 a.m. on April 20 and its age will be less than 10 hours that day.
According to Mufti Khalid Ijaz, Eid ul Fitr 2023 will most likely be celebrated on April 22 following the completion of the holy month of Ramazan’s 30 fasting days.
He believes the Shawwal moon will not be seen on April 21 evening.
Eidul Fitr commemorates the completion of Ramazan, the holy month in which Muslims fast from dawn to sunset. Traditionally, the occasion is marked by prayers, family gatherings, and feasting.
