We are very pleased to announce that most parts of the world (excluding some countries of Asia and Oceania) will be able to celebrate Eid al-Fitr on Sunday, 25th June 2017, Insha Allah! The major parts of Oceania and the remaining countries of Asia will be able to celebrate Eid al-Fitr 2017 on next day, 26th June 2017, Monday. Kindly see below the list of countries arranged as per the Eid celebration date.
We now invite you to take a look at the visibility curve of 24th June 2017 for Shawwal 2017 (1438). As can be seen from the visibility curve, there are very good chances of direct crescent visibility in South and Central America. As the new moon can be sighted in South and Central America as well as in Africa, Europe and most countries of Asia (as listed below) before fajr, they will be able to celebrate Eid al-Fitr 1438 on Sunday, 25th June 2017. Please note that visibility is acquired either through direct sighting or via our concept of the extension of the visibility zone (link).
We now request you to examine the visibility curve of 25th June 2017. As you can see, all countries of the world are in a direct visibility zone, green or blue. Hence, all the remaining countries, namely most countries of Oceania and the remaining countries of Asia will be able to celebrate Eid al-Fitr 2017 on Monday, 26th June 2017, either via direct visibility or via the extension of the visibility zone.
We have published below an extensive list of countries arranged as per the Eid celebration date. Kindly see the list below to get an idea about the Eid celebration date in your country. To get more details about our date calculation methodology, we request you to please read our introduction to the Islamic Calendar.
We also request you to read our Ramadan 2017 announcement to get an idea about the live reports of crescent sighting we provided during Ramadan. In a similar fashion, we will publish Eid al-Fitr 2017 (Shawwal 1438) live moon sighting reports on this page.
