Eid-ul-Fitr 2024 moon sighting time in India

Eid-ul-Fitr 2024: The moon sighting ritual holds deep significance in Islamic tradition, marking the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan. Families and communities come together to break their fast, offer prayers, and partake in joyous festivities that symbolise unity and gratitude.

The timing of Eid celebrations hinges on sighting the Shawwal crescent moon. Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar have announced that Eid will be on April 10. However, the crescent moon wasn't seen in Delhi, Hyderabad, and Lucknow so Eid festivities are expected to be set for April 11 in these cities.

Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations are set to commence in Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh on Wednesday as the crescent moon has been sighted, as announced by the Grand Mufti of Jammu and Kashmir. Similarly, in Ladakh, the Jammiat-ul-Ulama Isna Ashria in Kargil has confirmed the sighting of the crescent, proclaiming the Eid-ul-Fitr celebration for April 10, 2024. Meanwhile, in Kerala, clerics including Sayyid Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal, Jifri Muthukkoya Thangal, and Kanthapuram A P Aboobacker Musliyar confirmed the moon sighting on Tuesday, establishing the Eid celebration date for the state.

This reaffirms the global practice of Eid-ul-Fitr being celebrated on different days based on the sighting of the crescent moon.

As Muslims eagerly await Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations, they rely on spotting the crescent moon to set the date. Even with a delay in some places, their strong sense of togetherness and hope for a day of blessings, togetherness, and spiritual growth remains unwavering.
