Saudi Arabia has called upon Muslims to sight the Shawwal crescent moon on Wednesday evening, March 18, 2026, to determine the start of Eid Al Fitr. This sighting dictates the end of Ramadan and the beginning of the festival. Many global Muslim communities await Saudi Arabia’s announcement, though South Asian nations may observe a day later based on local moon sightings.
