Full List Of Countries That Don’t Declare Eid-el-Fitr Holiday

Although Eid-el-Fitr is widely celebrated by Muslims across many nations, it is not universally recognized as a public holiday in some countries. Despite lacking official status, its cultural and religious importance is manifested through communal festivities and individual observances.

In these multicultural settings, Muslims partake in prayers, communal meals, and various cultural activities to mark the occasion. However, the absence of formal recognition as a public holiday doesn’t hinder the spirit of the celebration among the Muslim populace.

The list of countries where Eid-el-Fitr is not declared a public holiday includes the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Netherlands, Switzerland, Russia, Australia, France, and Italy.

In contrast, countries like Nigeria demonstrate their commitment to inclusivity by officially designating extra holidays for Eid-el-Fitr celebrations. For instance, the Federal Government of Nigeria recently declared Thursday, April 11th, 2024, as an additional public holiday to commemorate Eid-El-Fitr. This decision underscores the government’s recognition of the significance of Eid-el-Fitr and its dedication to fostering a harmonious and prosperous society for all its citizens.
