Questions

When is Eid al-Adha 2027?

Expected Sunday 16 May 2027, with the Day of Arafah on Saturday 15 May.

Why is it a different date every year?

The Islamic calendar is lunar, about 11 days shorter than the solar year, so Eid moves earlier each year.

Is the countdown exact?

It is exact to the expected date. The official date may differ by a day after the moon is sighted.
