Expected Date of Eid Ul Adha 2021 in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is preparing to welcome Eid ul Adha 2021, the second largest festival of the Muslim community. In the Indian subcontinent, Eid-ul-Adha is also called Bakra Eid. Also, every Muslim celebrates this festival on the 10th day of the month of Dhi Al-Hijjah. However, The Saudi committee will announce the exact date of Eid al-Adha in Saudi Arabia after the sighting of the moon.
In the Islamic lunar calendar, the 29th and 30th days of each month are completed depending on the moon’s appearance. A new month begins on the 29th day of this month after seeing a crescent moon. Therefore, if the moon remains hidden on the 29th, the current month completes 30 days, and a new month begins the next day.

To start the month of Hajj, Muslims in Saudi Arabia will try to see a new moon on July 10, 2021. If the new moon appears on July 10, Eid ul Adha 2021 will occur on July 20, 2021 (10th of Dhul-Hijjah). If the crescent moon does not appear on July 10 and the month of Dhul-Hijjah will begin on July 12, then the Eid-ul-Adha will fall on July 21.
Moreover, Saudi Moonsighting committee is expecting that Eid-ul-Adha in KSA will either fall on July 20 or July 21, 2021. According to Saudi Arabia’s Umm al-Qura calendar, Eid al-Adha will occur on July 20, 2021.
