United Arab Emirates announced the probable date of Idul Fitr. The country said that
Idul Fitr may be celebrated on April 10. This information was informed in a report
of Gulf News on Sunday (March 17).







Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Chairman of the Board
of Directors of the Emirates Astronomical Society, said that the first day of
Shawwal may fall on April 10. This day will be Wednesday. As such, Muslims may
have to observe 30 fasts this year. According to reports, Shawwal's natal
moon will align with a solar eclipse on April 8. As a result, the crescent
moon will not be visible before midnight in most countries of the Islamic
world. It will be visible after sunset the next day.
