The crescent moon has been sighted on Saturday, 29 March 2025.
With the sighting of the Shawwal moon, the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end.
It also marks the beginning of the festival of Eid al-Fitr.
“Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam and is observed by Muslims as an act of worship and a means of spiritual purification through charity and good deeds.
Saudi Arabia had more than 10 astronomical observatories used to search for the crescent moon to determine the start and end of the Islamic lunar calendar, including Ramadan and Eid.
This means Sunday, March 30, will be the first day of Eid Al Fitr in Saudi Arabia.
