TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Muhammadiyah in its latest circular has set the Eid al-Fitr 1442 H celebration to be on Thursday, May 13, as it has set the shawwal month on the following day.

One of the largest muslim organization said that the hilal, or the sight the crescent of the month of Shawwal, will be visible across Indonesian regions after the sun sets. This process is based on the organization’s ‘hisab’ or reckoning.

The Indonesian Religious Affairs Ministry itself will hold a similar ‘isbat’ meeting on Tuesday upon naming the first day of Shawwal which determines the Eid al Fitr. Tuesday, May 11, will correspond to the 29th day of Ramadan.

The religious ministry will be hosting the Isbat meeting virtually due to Covid-19 restrictions.
