Muslims celebrate Eid'l Fitr on May 24

Muslim Filipinos will celebrate Eid'l Fitr on Sunday, May 24, after rain prevented the sighting of the new moon.

Eid'l Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and is traditionally a time for feasts and communal prayers; however, this year celebrations are different due to public health restrictions.

The National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) advises Muslims to stay home and conduct private gatherings with no more than 5-10 people.

Eid'l Fitr celebrates the end of monthlong fasting during Ramadan, a time when Muslims exercise patience and self-control while helping the poor.
