Eid-ul-Fitr
admin3 on October 30th, 2005
Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated on Friday 4th November insha Allah. Eid-ul-Fitr prayer at Makkah Masjid will take place at 09:30 prompt.
As usual, there is some confusion regarding the correct date for celebrating Eid in the UK. However, it is a scientific fact that the new moon cannot be sighted in the UK on Wednesday 2nd November, and neither can it be sighted in Saudi Arabia, Asia or North America. There is, however, a possibility of sighting in South America. The new moon however, will be visible on Thursday 3rd November in the UK, insha Allah.
Therefore, in accordance with the Sunnah of our beloved messenger (peace be upon him), Eid-ul-Fitr should be celebrated in the UK on Friday 4th November.
