Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha Dates For North America

Insha Allah based on actual moon sightings supported by astronomical data processed by MoonCalc by Br. Monzoor in UK.
  • Eid Ul Adha: Tuesday, March 6th, 2001


    Moonsighting (Astronomical Info)

    Dhul-Hijjah: Ê The moon was NOT seen anywhere in North America, nor any place in the world on February 23. Therefore, Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and Islamic Shura Council of North America have decided that Febraury 24 is the 30th day of Zul-Qa'dah and Febraury 25 is the first day of Zul-Hijja in North America, and accordingly, Eid-ul-Adha will be on March 6, 2001, Tuesday.

    ISNA and Shura Council of North America have decided that local sighting is the correct and proper approach for Eid-al-Adha just like other months. This is supported by various opinions at the site.

    By Mr. Khalid Shaukat of moonsighting.com.

  • Eid Ul Fitr: Wednesday, December 27th, 2000


    Moonsighting (Astronomical Info)

    The new moon birth on December 25, 2000 is at 12:23 pm, Eastern Standard Time - 9:23 am Pacific Standard Time, 17:23 Greenwich/Universal Time. In North America, the age of the moon is only 5-8 hours at sunset. This moon cannot be seen in North America for not being old enough, nor separated from the sun enough, nor high enough in the sky. In fact on December 25, 2000 it is not possible to sight the moon anywhere in the world. On December 26, the moon would still not be visible in most of Asia and Europe, although, with high powered telescopes and good preparation it may be seen in the Middle East, and Africa. In most of North America, however, it was visible with difficulty in certain Southern regions, and was not visible in Northern regions. Therefore "Eid-al-Fitr" in North and South America was on December 27, 2000 (Wednesday) just as calculated.
