Saudi Arabia will observe Eid-ul-Fitr on Friday (21 April) as the Shawwal crescent has been sighted today.
According to the sighting committee in the Tumair observatory, the Shawwal crescent moon has been sighted, meaning Ramadan will only last 29 days this year, reports Saudi Gazette.
On the other hand, Oman, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, Thailand, Singapore, and Japan will celebrate Eid on Saturday as the Shawwal crescent moon was not sighted there on Thursday (20 April).
Although Bangladesh does not always rely on Saudi Arabia to determine the date of Eid to be celebrated in the country.
However, several villages in Chattogram, Moulvibazar, Chandpur and Jamalpur celebrate Eid in line with Saudi Arabia.
