The Crescent Moon Committee at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs in Qatar has officially confirmed the sighting of the crescent moon, thereby announcing that tomorrow, Friday, will be the first day of Eid Al-Fitr. This has also been corroborated by the Saudi Royal Court and Emirates News Agency who have both announced Friday as the first day of the Eid.
