Al-Ojairi Scientific Center has confirmed that the first day of Eid Al-Fitr in 2025 will be on March 30, based on astronomical calculations. The center's statement, released on Saturday, indicated that the new crescent moon, marking the end of Ramadan, will appear at 1:57 PM on Ramadan 29th.

However, the center also cautioned that sighting the moon may prove challenging. The crescent will remain visible in Kuwait's sky for only 8 minutes, making it difficult for local observers to spot. Despite this, the center reassured the public that, based on calculations, the official start of Eid Al-Fitr will be confirmed on March 30.

Eid Al-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection for Muslims worldwide. The precise date of Eid is typically determined based on the lunar calendar and moon sightings.
