Eid al-Adha to Fall on Friday, June 6, Says Saudi Supreme Court Kingdom
H-Tayea
The Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia has announced that Wednesday, May 28, 2025, will mark the first day of the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah, 1446 AH. Accordingly, the Day of Arafat will fall on Thursday, June 5, and Eid al-Adha will be celebrated on Friday, June 6, 2025.
The announcement follows confirmed moon sightings in several locations, including Tumair, Sudair, and Taif, where the crescent was observed with the naked eye. The Court's statement expressed hope that these blessed days will bring peace, prosperity, and blessings to the Islamic world.
With the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah, Muslims around the world prepare to observe the first ten days, considered the most sacred days of the Islamic year. They hold special spiritual significance, as highlighted in the Qur'an and the sayings ofthe Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who said: 'There are no days during which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these days.'
In Saudi Arabia, preparations for the Hajj season are now in full swing. Millions of pilgrims are expected to arrive from within the Kingdom and abroad after authorities expanded registration capacity and streamlined pilgrimage procedures this year.
The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah confirmed its full readiness to welcome pilgrims, in coordination with health, security, and service agencies. A modern digital infrastructure has been deployed to ensure safety and comfort across all phases of the pilgrimage. Major upgrades have also been completed in Mecca and the holy sites, including expanded prayer areas and improved access to Arafat, Muzdalifah, and Mina.
