Eid Ul Adha 2024 Date in New Zealand

Al Hijaz Masjid

The Moon for Eid Ul Adha will be sighted on June 15 2024 New Zealand


In New Zealand, sighting the moon for Eid ul-Adha follows the general Islamic practice. The Sunnah (tradition) for sighting the moon involves physically observing the crescent moon with the naked eye after sunset on the 29th day of the Islamic month of Dhul-Hijjah. If the moon is sighted, it marks the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal and thus, Eid ul-Adha.


The process typically involves designated individuals or committees responsible for moon sighting, who gather information from various regions about the moon's visibility. If the moon is sighted and confirmed by reliable witnesses, Eid ul-Adha is celebrated the following day. If not, the current month of Dhul-Hijjah completes its 30 days, and Eid ul-Adha is observed the day after.


It's essential to consult local Islamic authorities or mosques in New Zealand for specific guidance and announcements regarding moon sighting for Eid ul-Adha in 2024. They usually provide updates closer to the time based on actual observations and calculations.
