Eid al-Fitr will fall on Sunday, March 30, 2025, the Saudi Royal Court announced after the crescent moon was spotted at Sudair and Tamir observatories in the Kingdom. The UAE and Qatar have also confirmed Sunday as the first day of Eid al-Fitr. The sighting committees began the process of spotting the crescent moon at sunset in Saudi Arabia. Chief astronomer Abdullah al-Khudairi at Sudair Observatory had said “Sunset today, Saturday, at the Sudair Observatory site is at 6.12pm (Saudi time), and the crescent moon will set 8 minutes later.” In an official announcement, the Supreme Court earlier this week called on anyone who sights the moon—either with the naked eye or using binoculars—to report their observation to the nearest court and register their testimony.
