Eidul Adha Expected to Be Celebrated on July 20

The Astronomical New Moon is on Saturday, July 10, 2021 at 1:16 UT. Sunday, July 11, 2021 is expected to be the 1st day of Dhul Hijjah 1442. The day of Arafah – the main day of Hajj - is expected to be on Monday, July 19, 2021 and so the Eidul Adha 1442 is expected on Tuesday, July 20, 2021.

Following its adopted current criteria for Eidul Adha, the Fiqh Council of North America announces that  the final determination of the date of Eidul Adha will be contingent on the announcement by the Hajj authorities in Makkah of the day of  ‘Arafah, and Eidul Adha will be on the day following the day of Arafah.
