About Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast, marks the end of Ramadan and is one of the two major Islamic holidays. It falls on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Hijri calendar, and is celebrated with communal prayers, feasting, charity, and family visits. As a lunar date it moves about eleven days earlier each Gregorian year. This countdown derives the date from the Umm al-Qura calculation used across the site; the precise day depends on the sighting of the new moon and can vary by region by a day.
Date rule: First day of Shawwal, the 10th Hijri month.

If you are coordinating across regions, set reminders against this date and let each person's device localise it.

How the Eid al-Fitr date is set
Eid al-Fitr belongs to the islamic calendar tradition. First day of Shawwal, the 10th Hijri month. Movable dates like this are resolved from the underlying calendar rule rather than a fixed Gregorian day, which is why the date moves around the calendar each year. Timekit computes every occurrence in the table below from that same rule, so the dates stay consistent with the rest of the site's calendar tools and update automatically as the years roll forward.
