Dhaka: New Shawwal moon was sighted in the sky of the country. As a result, the Holy Eid-ul-Fitr, the largest festival of Muslims, will be celebrated in Bangladesh on Tuesday.
The decision came following a meeting of the National Moon Sighting Committee at the office of the Islamic Foundation at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque in the capital on Monday evening.
This year, Muslims have observed 30-day fasting in the month of Ramadan.
After the month of Ramadan, Muslims will celebrate the Eid-ul-Fitr on the first day of Shawwal month.
The main Eid Jamaat will be held at National Eidgah at 8:30am tomorrow in the capital after closure of two years due to Covid-19 pandemic. If the weather is inclement, the main Eid Jamaat will be held at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque at 9:00am.
