The UAE Fatwa Council has urged Muslims across the country to participate in sighting the Shawwal crescent moon on the evening of Saturday, Ramadan 29, 1446 AH, corresponding to March 29, 2025.
In a statement, the council encouraged anyone who spots the crescent, whether by the naked eye or with binoculars, to promptly report their sighting to the UAE Moon-Sighting Committee.
This is a vital step in confirming the conclusion of Ramadan and marking the beginning of Eidul Fitr, a major Islamic festival celebrating the end of a month of fasting, devotion, and spiritual reflection.
Additionally, the Saudi Supreme Court has announced that moon sighting for Eidul Fitr will take place on the evening of March 29.
The court has called on Muslims to observe the crescent and report their findings to the relevant authorities, as per tradition.
The Moon-Sighting Committee, responsible for verifying the crescent sighting, will convene after Maghrib (sunset) prayers on Saturday evening to assess the reports and officially announce the start of Eidul Fitr based on the moon sighting.
