Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) honors the devotion of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to Allah. It coincides with the climax of the Hajj (pilgrimage) and is characterized by prayers, the sacrificial offering (Qurbani), and sharing meat with family and the less fortunate.

Eid al-Adha is observed on 10 Dhu al-Hijjah every Hijri year.

Islamic holidays are determined according to the Hijri lunar calendar. The beginning of each month is traditionally confirmed by the visual sighting of the new crescent moon (hilal) after sunset. Consequently, dates can vary by a day between different regions depending on visibility conditions and geographic location.

Not always. Moon sighting can differ by location, so the date can differ by a day. You can use the Hijri date adjustment setting in this app to align with your local calendar.

Eid al-Adha is typically observed over 4 days. Local practice may vary.
