Announcement by Mufti for the first day of Zulhijjah 1446H and date of Hari Raya Aidiladha 2025

According to astronomical calculations, the crescent moon was not visible above Singapore's horizon after sunset this evening. As such, tomorrow will be the 30th and final day of the month of Zulkaedah.

Therefore, the month of Zulhijjah 1446H will begin on Thursday, 29 May 2025. This means Hari Raya Aidiladha will fall on Saturday, 7 June 2025.

Wishing all Muslims in Singapore a blessed arrival of the month of Zulhijjah and Aidiladha.

Let us take this opportunity during the sacred days of this holy month to increase our worship and prayers for the safety of the Haj pilgrims and for all those who are oppressed, especially in Gaza, Palestine.
