Hari Raya in Singapore 2025
The 2025 dates for Hari Raya Puasa (Aidilfitri) and Hari Raya Haji (Aidiladha), what was specific to this year, and the Ramadan month that leads up to Aidilfitri.
In 2025, Hari Raya Puasa (Aidilfitri) falls on Monday, 31 March 2025 and Hari Raya Haji (Aidiladha) on Saturday, 7 June 2025, both gazetted public holidays in Singapore.
Monday, 31 March 2025
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.
Saturday, 7 June 2025
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.
One Raya on a Monday, one on a Saturday
2025 is the cleanest illustration on this site of how much the weekday matters. Aidilfitri fell on Monday 31 March and simply extended the weekend to three days, no leave spent. Hari Raya Haji fell on Saturday 7 June, a non-working day for most, which under MOM's rules gets you a day off in lieu or an extra day's salary rather than an automatic Monday (MOM). Same two festivals, same gazette, and the difference in what you actually got was decided by nothing but where the lunar date happened to land in the week.
The school calendar split them the same way. Hari Raya Haji on 7 June sat inside the mid-year break, 31 May to 29 June; Aidilfitri on 31 March fell just after the March break closed on 23 March (MOE, 2025 school terms). If you have school-age children, 2025 was the year the two Rayas felt least alike.
How the 2025 dates sat in the calendar
| Hari Raya Puasa | Hari Raya Haji | |
|---|---|---|
| Date | Monday, 31 Mar | Saturday, 7 Jun |
| Days off in a row, five-day week | 3 (29 Mar to 31 Mar) | 2 (7 Jun to 8 Jun) |
| Nearest other public holiday | Good Friday, 18 days later | nothing within three weeks |
| Moved from 2024 | 10 days earlier | 10 days earlier |
| Moves to 2026 | 10 days earlier | 11 days earlier |
The two fell 68 days apart in 2025. That interval is not fixed: Aidilfitri is 1 Syawal and Aidiladha is 10 Zulhijjah, and the two Islamic months in between can each run 29 or 30 days, so the gap moves between about 67 and 70 days. The year-to-year shift is the same arithmetic on a larger scale, and the guide to why the date keeps moving explains how MUIS fixes it.
Hari Raya Haji, Saturday. Falling on a Saturday, a non-working day on a five-day week, it does not roll forward to the Monday. Your employer owes you another day off or one extra day of salary at the gross rate, and the choice is the employer’s. MOM sets out both rules.
Ramadan 2025
Ramadan, the month of fasting, runs for roughly 29 to 30 days before Hari Raya Puasa, so in 2025 it begins around 1 Mar and ends at Aidilfitri on 31 Mar.
That start is worked back from the gazetted Aidilfitri date, not gazetted itself. MUIS announces the confirmed start the evening before the month begins, so it can differ by a day. For daily sahur and iftar times, use a dedicated prayer-times source. The Ramadan page covers how the month is observed here.
