Saudi Arabia will celebrate Eid Al-Fitr on Friday, April 21, following the sighting of the Shawwal crescent moon on Thursday, according to the sighting committee in the Tumair observatory. This means that the month of Ramadan will last only 29 days this year.

The sighting of the Shawwal moon is a highly anticipated event among Muslims as it marks the official end of Ramadan and the start of the Eid Al-Fitr celebrations. In Saudi Arabia, the sighting of the moon is carried out by a committee of experts who observe the sky to determine the start of the new lunar month.

The announcement of the Shawwal moon sighting was welcomed by Muslims across Saudi Arabia, who had been eagerly anticipating the start of the Eid Al-Fitr celebrations. The sighting of the Shawwal moon marks a significant moment for Muslims in Saudi Arabia and around the world as they prepare to celebrate the end of Ramadan and the start of Eid Al-Fitr.
