Look for the new moon on Sat. Mar. 29 to determine the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal and the arrival of Eid al-Fitr. The crescent (hilal) would be visible shortly after sunset, above the area where the sun had set.
Qualified Muslim astronomers and reliable visibility forecasts indicate that on Saturday, March 29th, a naked-eye (unaided) sighting of the new crescent moon in North America will be unlikely due to the moon's young age. If the moon is not sighted on March 29th, we would complete 30 days of Ramadan and observe Eid al-Fitr on Monday, March 31st.
Please go out to look for the new crescent moon. It is a beautiful experience to sight its emergence, and it is a sunnah that we hope the ummah revives.
