RAMADAN and EID-AL-FITR (2025)

RAMADAN and EID-AL-FITR (1)

Ramadan & Eid in North America

According to Fiqh Council of North America

"O you who believe, fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may (learn) self-restraint." Qur'an 2: 183

The Fiqh Council of North America recognizes astronomical calculation as an acceptable Shar'i method for determining the beginning of Lunar months including the months of Ramadan and Shawwal. FCNA uses the criteria by Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi Head of European Council for Fatwa and Research (ECFR) Dublin, Ireland, which are that somewhere on the globe, at the sunset, the elongation should be at least 8 degrees and moon should be at least 5 degrees above horizon. If these conditions are met, then it is certain that the moon is above the horizon. Hence the new lunar month will start the next day, otherwise it will start on the day following next.

On the basis of this the dates of Ramadan and Eidul Fitr are established.
May Allah (swt) keep us on the right path, and accept our fasting and prayers. Ameen. For detailed information, please visit: www.fiqhcouncil.org

For Eidul Adha, the Fiqh Council of North America decided that the determination of the date of Eidul Adha will be contingent on the announcement by the Hajj authorities in Makkah of the day of 'Arafah, in which case Eidul Adha will be the day following the day of 'Arafah.
