Saudi Arabia announces Eidul Fitr on Friday - Lahore_Real_Estate - 09-09-2010 10:40 AM
RIYADH: Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Lebanon announced they would celebrate Eidul Fitr, on Friday. In Saudi Arabia, seen as the beacon of Islam, the supreme court ruled that Thursday would be the final day of fasting, before the Eid celebration opens the new month of Shawwal, according to the announcement on the official SPA news agency. Until Wednesday’s ruling, based on observing the progress of the new moon, it was not clear whether Eid would take place on Thursday or Friday. The holiday depends on the sighting of the moon, and can therefore be observed on different days around the world.
