How is the start of Eid al-Fitr determined?

Like Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr begins with the sighting of the crescent moon, which is a day after the new moon. Hence, Muslims have to wait until the evening before Eid to know its exact date. Also, if the crescent moon is not visible, Ramadan fast continues for another day. As we know, it is a lunar event, the date of Eid changes annually. It also varies from country to country depending on geographical location.

How to perform Eid al-Fitr Namaz

• As per rituals, Muslims begins this auspicious day by performing the Ghusl to purify their body.
• Since Eid is celebrated after month-long-dawn-to-dusk fasting, Muslims gorge on some delicious preparations.
• Subsequently, they also wear new attire to mark the beginning of the festival.
• And then they get ready for the prayers, and later they offer Salat al-Eid and once again recite the prayer.
• Then Muslims perform the Takbiratul Ihram. The prayer is done with raising hands in a way that palms and thumbs are aligned with the shoulders and ears, respectively on both sides.
