Determination of Eid al-Fitr 1446 H, by the Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs
Jakarta-aswinnews.com- The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Religious Affairs, has determined that Eid al-Fitr 1446 Hijri falls on Monday, March 31, 2025.
This decision was announced in the Isbat Session, led by the Indonesian Minister of Religious Affairs, Nasaruddin Umar, and attended by the leadership of Commission VIII of the DPR, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), the Director General of Islamic Community Guidance, and representatives of other Islamic mass organizations, Saturday (29/03/2025) last night.
This determination is based on the results of monitoring the crescent moon carried out in 33 locations throughout Indonesia. From the results of rukyatul hilal, it is known that the position of the crescent moon is still below the horizon and does not meet the criteria of MABIMS (Minister of Religious Affairs of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore). Therefore, the month of Ramadan was completed with 30 days, so that 1 Shawwal 1446 H fell on March 31 2025.
This decision was taken to ensure uniformity in the implementation of Eid al-Fitr for all Muslims in Indonesia. In this way, people can prepare to celebrate Eid with great solemnity and togetherness.
