What is Eid al-Fitr?
Eid al-Fitr falls on the first day of Shawwal, immediately after the end of fasting in Ramadan. Known as the "Lesser Eid," it begins with the Eid prayer followed by visits and greetings, and Zakat al-Fitr is given before the prayer.
The virtue of Eid al-Fitr
It is the day of reward, when those who fasted rejoice at completing their obligation — a day of joy for Muslims. Fasting on it is forbidden: it is a day of eating, drinking and remembering Allah, and Zakat al-Fitr purifies the fasting person while providing for those in need.
What is done on Eid al-Fitr?
The day begins with a bath, one’s finest clothes, and takbir on the way to the Eid prayer, with Zakat al-Fitr given beforehand. Then follow family visits, maintaining ties of kinship, exchanging greetings, gifts and Eidiyah money for children, and festive sweets — from maamoul to kahk — in many countries.
How is the date determined?
Dates here are calculated astronomically per the Umm al-Qura standard used in Saudi Arabia. Some countries rely on direct moon sighting instead, so the actual date can differ by about one day between regions.
