Eid’l Fitr to be celebrated Monday, March 31, 2025

The celebration of Eid’l Fitr will commence on Monday, March 31, 2025, the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos said Sunday.

Eid'l Fitr, or the Feast of Breaking the Fast, is the Muslim holiday that ends the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

Muslim leaders determine the date of Eid'l Fitr during a traditional moon-sighting ceremony 29 days into Ramadan. The sighting of a new moon will mean that the next day is Eid. If the moon is not sighted, Muslims fast for another day to complete 30 days.

The announcement of the date for this year's Eid'l Fitr came after the crescent moon was sighted by several groups organized by the Bangsamoro Government, PAGASA, and others, and confirmed by authorities including the Bangsamoro Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdulrauf Guialani.

BARMM also announced that March 31 will be a regular non-working holiday across the region to commemorate the occasion. — BM, GMA Integrated News
