Muslims across the globe are preparing to observe Jumma Tul Wida 2026 (also knwon as Alvida Jumma and Jumu'atul-Wida), the final Friday of the holy month of Ramadan. In Saudi Arabia and most Gulf nations, where Ramadan fasting began from February 18, the date for Jumma Tul Wida 2026 is confirmed for Friday, March 13, 2026. However, in India, Pakistan, and other South Asian countries, the exact date remains subject to the sighting of the Shawwal crescent, with the observance potentially falling on either March 13 or March 20.

The determination of Jumma Tul Wida 2026 in South Asia depends on the total duration of Ramadan:

• Scenario A (March 13): If the Eid-Ul-Fitr moon is sighted on the evening of March 19, Ramadan will conclude after 29 days. In this case, March 13 stands as the final Friday of the month.
• Scenario B (March 20): If the moon is not sighted on March 19, Ramadan will complete 30 days. Under this lunar cycle, Friday, March 20, would become the actual Jumma Tul Wida (Alvida Jumma).

In India, the government has listed March 20 as a Restricted Holiday (RH) for Jumma Tul Wida, reflecting the high probability of a 30-day fast based on initial lunar projections. Eid al-Fitr 2026: Moon Sighting Dates for Saudi Arabia, India, UAE, UK, US and More.
