Today, Monday, Muslims in most Arab and Islamic countries celebrate Eid al-Fitr, after the sighting of the crescent of the month of Shawwal was confirmed.
And 21 Arab countries announced that the second Monday of May 2022 will be the first day of Eid Al-Fitr for the year 1443 AH, while the Comoros State said that the Eid falls on Tuesday.
And Muslims in various countries began arriving at dawn today with large crowds to mosques and chapels to perform the Eid prayer, in light of the lifting of most of the measures to confront the Corona virus.
During the past two years, the Eid al-Fitr prayer witnessed restrictions due to Corona measures, which amounted to restricting its stay in homes, but with its lifting in some countries and easing in others, it is being held this year with a remarkable expansion and without restrictions for the first time in two years.
In the Islamic world, several countries, including Indonesia, Turkey and Malaysia, announced Monday the first day of Eid al-Fitr, while Pakistan announced that Monday is the completion of the month of Ramadan, so that Tuesday will be the first of the month of Shawwal and the first day of Eid al-Fitr.
Singapore had also announced on Sunday evening that Tuesday would be the first day of Eid al-Fitr, which the majority of Arab and Muslim-majority countries celebrate today.
