Saturday, Saturday, 22 April 2023
Aidilfitri marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. It is the larger of the two Hari Raya celebrations, and its date is confirmed by moon-sighting.
Thursday, Thursday, 29 June 2023
Aidiladha, the festival of sacrifice, marks the end of the Haj pilgrimage. Its date is set by the Islamic calendar and confirmed by moon-sighting.
Ramadan 2023
Ramadan, the month of fasting, runs for roughly 29–30 days before Hari Raya Puasa — so in 2023 it begins around 23 Mar and ends at Aidilfitri on 22 Apr.
The start of Ramadan is an estimate until it is confirmed by moon-sighting through MUIS, and can differ by a day. For daily sahur and iftar times, use a dedicated prayer-times source.
