When Is Eid al-Adha 2023 -Time and Date

Eid al-Adha, also known as the Feast of Sacrifice, is one of the two most important holidays in Islam. It commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God.

Eid al-Adha begins on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 12th month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It is a time for Muslims to come together to celebrate, pray, and give thanks to God.

The date of birth of Hilal of the month of Al-Hajjah is not fixed. It is determined by the sighting of the new moon, which can vary from year to year. In 2023, the new moon of Al-Hajjah is expected to be sighted on June 18, 2023. This means that Eid al-Adha, which marks the end of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, will be celebrated on June 27, 2023.

The new crescent remains in Makkah Al-Mukarramah for 29 minutes, in Cairo for 36 minutes after sunset that day (seeing day), and in the governorates of the Arab Republic of Egypt, the new crescent remains in the sky for 31 to 37 minutes.

The holiday of Eid al-Adha begins on Tuesday, 9th with the al – Hajjah, 27 June 2023, for a period of four days.
