The French Muslim Theological Council (CTM) and the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM) have declared the conclusion of Ramadan, contingent upon the night of uncertainty on March 29.
Prior to the Night of Doubt on Saturday, March 29, the French Muslim Theological Council (CTM) and the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM) have declared the conclusion date for Ramadan 2025. The date is Sunday, March 30.
The Muslim fast, which commenced on March 1, is set to conclude this weekend, as stated in the press release issued this Tuesday, March 25, by the French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM). The latter relies on a method of astronomical calculation and indicates that this Sunday marks the occasion of “Eid-el-Fitr 1446H.”
Saturday’s Night of Doubt will officially announce the conclusion of Ramadan
The CFCM, having established its observation criteria in 2013, posits that the lunar crescent will be visible on Saturday across North America. The occasion will herald the commencement of Shawwal 1446H, taking place on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at precisely 11:58 a.m. Paris time.
The French Muslim Theological Council (CTM) has announced that the first day of Shawwal, marking Eid al-Fitr, will fall on Sunday, March 30, 2025. The new moon will take place on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at 10:58 GMT, which corresponds to 11:58 in Paris.
The requisite conditions for sighting the new crescent of Shawwal globally are anticipated to be fulfilled, Insha Allah, on the following day, Sunday, March 30, at 00:12 GMT (01:12 Paris time).
The Grand Mosque of Paris is set to make an announcement on Saturday
The Grand Mosque of Paris will require us to hold our breath until 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, 2025, when the Night of Doubt will finally reveal the date marking the conclusion of Ramadan.
It is customary to observe the lunar crescent in the sky prior to declaring the date of Eid al-Fitr. Should it be observable, the conclusion of the fast will be formally acknowledged the following day.
Otherwise, one will have to bide their time until the morrow. The Grand Mosque of Paris has declared that “Eid will occur on Sunday, March 30, 2025, or Monday, March 31, 2025.”
Close to five million practicing Muslims in France are eagerly anticipating the conclusion of Ramadan to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of their fasting period. This festivity, observed on the inaugural day of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic calendar, embodies a spirit of sharing and solidarity.
