Saudi Arabia has officially announced that Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, will be observed on Sunday, June 16, 2024. This declaration follows the sighting of the Dhul Hijjah crescent, marking the beginning of the 12th Islamic month. The announcement, made on Thursday by Saudi authorities, sets the stage for the commencement of the Hajj pilgrimage on Friday, June 14, with Arafat Day falling on Saturday, June 15.

The Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia had earlier urged Muslims across the Kingdom to participate in the crescent moon sighting of Dhu Al Hijjah, facilitating the determination of significant dates in the Islamic calendar. Eid al-Adha, celebrated on the 10th of Dhu Al Hijjah, is one of the most important festivals in Islam, symbolizing faith and sacrifice.

This announcement underscores Saudi Arabia’s commitment to ensuring that Muslims can observe Eid al-Adha in accordance with Islamic traditions.
