Saudi Arabia Urges Moon Sighting on May 27 to Mark Start of Dhu Al Hijjah
Saudi Arabia's Supreme Court has invited Muslims across the Kingdom to observe the crescent moon on the evening of Tuesday, May 27, to determine the start of Dhu Al Hijjah—the Islamic month during which the Hajj pilgrimage takes place, followed by Eid Al Adha. The Court made the announcement on Sunday, urging citizens and residents alike to look for the crescent on Dhul Qadah 29, either with the naked eye or through telescopes. Those who spot the moon are requested to report their sighting to the nearest court and offer their testimony. In addition, the Supreme Court encouraged individuals with the capability to participate in the Kingdom's official moon-sighting committees to assist in the process. These groups play a crucial role in confirming the beginning of key Islamic months, which in turn determine the dates for major religious events. If the crescent is not sighted on May 27, Islamic tradition dictates that Dhul Qadah will complete 30 days, and Dhu Al Hijjah will begin on Thursday, May 29. This would subsequently move the dates of the Hajj pilgrimage and Eid Al Adha forward by a day, with Eid likely to be celebrated on Saturday, June 7, 2025. The moon sighting holds significant importance as it directly impacts the scheduling of Hajj rituals and the celebration of Eid Al Adha, one of Islam's two major annual festivals.

Five-Day Long Weekend Announced In Kuwait As Eid Al Adha Holiday Set To Fall On June 6
Eid Al Adha, one of Islam's holiest festivals, will be observed in Kuwait on Friday, June 6, according to astronomical projections by the Al Ojairi Scientific Center. In a statement, the center confirmed that the crescent marking the start of Dhu Al Hijjah, the final month of the Islamic lunar calendar, will be born at dawn on May 27, corresponding to the 29th of Dhu Al Qi'dah. The crescent is expected to be visible over Kuwait's horizon for 43 minutes after sunset on May 28, signifying the beginning of the new month. Based on these calculations, the Day of Arafah, the key day of pilgrimage in Mecca, will fall on Thursday, June 5, followed by Eid Al Adha on Friday. The center added that the crescent will also be observable across Arab and Islamic capitals for periods ranging between 40 and 58 minutes, affirming widespread visibility and alignment with astronomical forecasts. In light of the holiday, Kuwait's Cabinet has already announced a suspension of work across all government agencies and public institutions from June 5 through June 9. Normal operations will resume on Tuesday, June 10. Institutions with nonstandard operations will determine their holiday schedules independently. Eid Al Adha, also known as the 'Festival of Sacrifice,' commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God's command, a moment honored by millions of Muslims through prayer, charity, and the ritual sacrifice of livestock.
