when is eid 2025
Eid in 2025 will be around the end of March , but the exact day depends on which Eid you mean and local moon-sighting.
Quick Scoop
- Eid al-Fitr 2025 (end of Ramadan)
- Expected on Sunday 30 March 2025 or Monday 31 March 2025 , depending on the sighting of the new moon of Shawwal in your country.
* Many global calendars list **the main day as Monday 31 March 2025** , with some places beginning celebrations from the evening of Sunday 30 March.
- Eid al-Adha 2025 (Festival of Sacrifice)
- Separate from Eid al-Fitr and expected in early June 2025 (for most Gulf countries, around 6–7 June 2025 , based on local moonsighting).
Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, the final date is always confirmed by local scholars after the actual moon sighting, so check a trusted local mosque or Islamic authority as the date gets close.

Why dates look “uncertain”
- The Islamic (Hijri) calendar follows the moon , not the solar Gregorian calendar, so dates move about 10–11 days earlier each year.
- Many websites give a predicted date (like 30 or 31 March 2025), but practising communities still wait for a real moon sighting announcement the night before Eid.
What most people can plan for
If you just want a planning guide (holidays, travel, time off):
- Assume Eid al-Fitr 2025 will be on Monday 31 March 2025 in many countries, with possible variation of one day earlier or later depending on moonsighting.
- Be ready for a one-day shift if your local mosque or Islamic authority announces a different date.
- For Eid al-Adha , expect 6–7 June 2025 in much of the Middle East and nearby regions, again subject to moonsighting.
