About Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr (Festival of Breaking the Fast) marks the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. Eid al-Fitr 2026 is expected on March 20, 2026. It is a joyous celebration involving communal prayers, charitable giving (Zakat al-Fitr), and family gatherings.
Eid al-Fitr is one of the two major Islamic holidays. It begins with a special congregational prayer (Salat al-Eid) performed in the morning. Before the prayer, Muslims are required to pay Zakat al-Fitr, a charitable contribution given to ensure that those in need can also celebrate the occasion. The day is marked by visiting family and friends, sharing meals, giving gifts to children, and expressing gratitude to Allah for the strength to complete the fast of Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is Eid al-Fitr 2026?
Eid al-Fitr 2026 is expected on March 20, 2026. The date is confirmed upon the sighting of the Shawwal crescent moon at the end of Ramadan. Celebrations typically last for three days.
How is the date of Eid al-Fitr determined?
Eid al-Fitr is celebrated on 1 Shawwal, the day after the last day of Ramadan. The date is determined by sighting the new crescent moon (hilal) at the end of Ramadan. If the moon is not sighted on the 29th of Ramadan, then Ramadan is completed as 30 days and Eid is celebrated the following day.
What is Zakat al-Fitr?
Zakat al-Fitr (also called Sadaqat al-Fitr) is an obligatory charity given before the Eid prayer. It is typically the equivalent of one sa' (approximately 2.5-3 kg) of staple food per person in the household. It purifies the fasting person from any shortcomings during Ramadan and provides food for those in need so they can celebrate Eid.
How long does Eid al-Fitr last?
While the Eid prayer and primary celebrations occur on the first day, Eid al-Fitr is traditionally celebrated for three days. In many Muslim-majority countries, it is a public holiday for two to three days. Muslims visit family, share meals, exchange gifts, and celebrate the completion of Ramadan.
