The joyous occasion of Eid Al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, is expected to fall on Wednesday, April 10th, 2024, in Qatar. This prediction comes from the Qatar Calendar House and the Kuwaiti Al-Ojairi Scientific Center, both highly respected institutions with extensive experience in astronomy and space studies.
Using meticulous astronomical calculations, these organizations determined that the crescent moon signifying the beginning of Shawwal, the Islamic month following Ramadan, will be born on Monday evening, April 8th, 2024, at 9:22 PM Doha local time. However, the critical detail is that the crescent will be too young to be visible during sunset on the traditional sighting day.
Therefore, based on astronomical calculations alone, Eid Al-Fitr prayers will be held on Wednesday, April 10th, at 5:32 AM Doha local time. It’s important to remember that the official confirmation of the Eid Al-Fitr date ultimately rests with the Crescent Sighting Committee of the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs, who will make their decision based on Islamic Sharia principles.
This news provides a strong preliminary indication of when Eid Al-Fitr will be celebrated in Qatar. With the official confirmation likely to come closer to the date, residents can now start making preparations for this significant occasion.
Key Points:
- Based on astronomical calculations, Eid Al-Fitr is expected to be on Wednesday, April 10th, 2024.
- The sighting of the crescent moon on the traditional sighting day is unlikely.
- The official confirmation of Eid Al-Fitr will be made by the Crescent Sighting Committee.
We recommend staying tuned for official announcements from the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs for the final confirmation of the Eid Al-Fitr holiday.
