All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammad.
We thank Allah (SWT) for giving us the ability to fast in the Month of Ramadan, the ability to worship him, and the ability to fulfil our religious and worldly obligations.
The Australian Fatwa Council is pleased to announce to the Australian Muslim community the following:
The Australian Fatwa Council has confirmed, after further inquiries with both local and global observatories, that in Sydney, the new moon of Shawwal will be born on Saturday, 29th March 2025, at 9:57 PM AESTโafter sunset on that night. In Perth, the new moon will be born on the same day at 6:57 PM AWST, also after sunset. As the new moon will be born after sunset in both cities, the following day cannot be the first of the Month of Shawwal.

The method by which the Grand Mufti of Australia and the Australian Fatwa Council determined the end of the month of Ramadan, the first day of Shawwal, and the day of Eid Al-Fitr is based on the calculated birth of the moon before sunset, the duration of the moonset after sunset, and the possibility of sighting the moon. This is a method that has been adopted by many prominent and reputable global scholarly councils.
The Australian National Imams Council and the Australian Fatwa Council acknowledge, understand and respect the Imams and scholars who may hold a different opinion, and request all Muslims to respect the different opinions on this matter and work towards the unity of the Muslim community in preserving the common values and interests that they all have and share.
The Grand Mufti of Australia, Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohamad, and the member Imams of the Australian National Imams Council, wish the Muslim community a happy, joyful and blessed Eid Al-Fitr, and to remember their brothers and sisters in Gaza โ Palestine in their Duaโa, generous donations, and ongoing support.
We also encourage the Muslim community to engage with their fellow Australian neighbours and friends in displaying the true and peaceful image of Islam.
May Allah accept your fasting and worship in the Month of Ramadan & EID MUBARAK!!
