FAQ
When is Eid al-Fitr in 2020?
Eid al-Fitr falls on 24 May 2020 (Sunday), corresponding to 1 Shawwāl 1441 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 2020?
A Hijri year is about eleven days shorter than a Gregorian year, so 1 Shawwāl moves earlier each Gregorian year and occasionally falls twice between January and December.
Can the Eid al-Fitr 2020 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.
