According to the astronomers, the crescent moon for the months of Shawwal and Eid al-Fitr 2025 will not be visible with the naked eye in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), including in the Middle East, due to the Solar Eclipse, also known as Chand Grehan.

A senior Saudi astronomer, Bader Al Omaira, said that searching and spotting the crescent moon of Shawwal on Saturday, March 29, will not be possible with the naked eye or telescopes as the moon will set before the sun and the conjunction will occur after sunset.

The sighting of the crescent moon will decide the date for Ramadan Eid or Eid ul-Fitr 2025 and the beginning of Shawwal 1446 AH, the 10th month in the Islamic calendar. According to reports, most Arab and Islamic countries will fast for 30 days and likely celebrate Eid Al Fitr on Monday (March 31).

The International Astronomical Centre in Abu Dhabi predicted that sighting the crescent moon of Shawwal is not possible from the eastern part of the world and remains unfeasible across the rest of the Arab and Islamic world using tools and observation methods.

Meanwhile, if the crescent moon of Shawwal is not sighted today (March 29) in Saudi Arabia and nations in the Middle East, Ramadan will complete 30 days, and Eid 2025 will be celebrated across the world, including in India and Pakistan, on Monday, March 31. If the crescent is sighted today, Eid Ul Fitr will be observed on Sunday, March 30.
