Saudi Arabian authorities have confirmed that Eid-el-Fitr will be celebrated on Friday, March 20, 2026, following the non-sighting of the crescent moon.
The announcement was made via the HaraminInfo social media handles on Wednesday, stating:
“The crescent moon has not been sighted in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, Eid-el-Fitr will be observed on Friday, 20th March 2026.
May Allāh grant us the opportunity to make the most of the remaining days of this blessed month, accept our fasting, prayers, and good deeds, and allow us to witness many more Ramadāns in good health. Āmīn.”
Further updates are expected as Nigerians await the official declaration from the Sultan of Sokoto.
