The crescent moon of the month of Shawaal has been sighted above North America, and confirmed by the The Moon-Sighting Committee of the Council of Shia Muslim Scholars of North America*, this evening of the 19th of March, marking the end of Ramadan.
Eid Al-Fitr will take place on March 20th for the followers of Ayatollah Sayed Sistani (May Allah preserve him), Ayatollah Sayed Khamenei (ra), Ayatollah Sayed Al-Khoei (ra) and Ayatollah Sayed Fadlallah (ra).
Dearest brothers and sisters, we wish you a joyous Eid, pray that Allah swt accepts each deed of this past month, and grants you the blessing of welcoming this holy month of Ramadan once again, inshAllah.
