International Astronomical Centre predicts this Eid-ul-Fitr 2022 date for different countries

According to the International Astronomical Centre, Eid Al Fitr 2022 is expected to fall on Monday, May 2 in most Islamic countries and Mohammad Shawkat Odeh, director of the International Astronomical Centre, reportedly said that sighting the Shawwal crescent on Saturday, April 30 would be impossible because the moon is expected to set before the sun hence, countries that began fasting on April 2 this year, will likely complete 30 days of Ramadan, meaning Eid Al Fitr will start on May 2.

As for countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iran, Oman, Jordan, Morocco and Ghana – that began fasting for Ramadan 2022 from April 3, the crescent of Shawwal will likely be seen on Sunday, May 1 and Eid there too might be celebrated on May 2, 2022.
