Shawwal and Eid al-Fitr

The first of Shawwal is Eid al-Fitr. Its date depends on sighting the new moon on the evening of 29 Ramadan; if it is not seen, Ramadan completes 30 days. The Umm al-Qura date is an estimate and the Supreme Court announcement prevails. The Eid al-Fitr countdown shows the days and hours left, and public holidays shows the length of the Eid holiday.
