Idul Fitri 2026 Moon Sighting in Indonesia Final Update: Muslims To Celebrate Eid on March 21

Indonesia's Ministry of Religious Affairs has officially declared Saturday, March 21, 2026, as the first day of Idul Fitri. The decision follows a national Isbat session where observers confirmed that the Syawal crescent failed to meet visibility criteria. Consequently, Ramadan will complete 30 days, marking the formal end of the fasting month.

The Indonesian Ministry of Religious Affairs has officially announced that Idul Fitri 1447 H will be celebrated on Saturday, March 21, 2026. The decision was finalized during the Sidang Isbat (confirmation session) on Thursday evening after the moon-sighting teams at various observation points across the archipelago reported that the Syawal 1447 crescent was not visible. While some organizations like Muhammadiyah have opted to celebrate on Friday based on astronomical calculations, the government’s formal decree requires Ramadan to be completed as a 30-day month (istikmal).
