FAQ
When is Eid al-Adha in 2026?
Eid al-Adha falls on 27 May 2026 (Wednesday), corresponding to 10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah 1447 AH on the tabular Islamic calendar. Confirm the observed date with your local authority because moon sighting can shift it by about a day.
Why is there one date in 2026?
A Hijri year is about eleven days shorter than a Gregorian year, so 10 Dhū al-Ḥijjah moves earlier each Gregorian year and occasionally falls twice between January and December.
Can the Eid al-Adha 2026 date change?
Yes. This page uses a deterministic tabular calculation for planning. Religious dates follow the sighting or official determination of the new moon and can differ by a day, occasionally two.
