In its statement on the official Kemenag RI website, the Director General of Guidance for Islamic Society (Dirjen Bimas Islam), Abu Rokhmad, explained that the Isbat session will involve various elements, such as the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), planetariums, astronomy experts from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), observatories, representatives of Islamic community organisations, and other agencies.
“Because it involves broad representation, the Isbat session decision has strong religious legitimacy,” said Abu.

Government Prediction for Eid 2026 Schedule, Different from Muhammadiyah?
The government has actually set the date for Eid 2026 in the Indonesian Hijriyah Calendar for 2026 and the Joint Decree of 3 Ministers. In these two documents, 1 Syawal 1447 H falls on 21 March 2026, so Idul Fitri 2026 will be celebrated by the community on Saturday.
This is supported by the Eid 2026 prediction released by BRIN. Quoted from detikEdu, astronomically, the position of the crescent moon on Thursday afternoon, 19 March 2026, does not yet meet the latest criteria set by the Ministers of Religious Affairs of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore (MABIMS). Nevertheless, the public must still await the determination of the Idul Fitri 1447 H holiday, which will be decided through today’s Isbat session.
What about Muhammadiyah? This Islamic organisation has already set the Eid 2026 schedule. In the Central Leadership Memorandum of Muhammadiyah Number 2/MLM/I.0/E/2025 on the Determination of Hisab Results for Ramadan, Syawal, and Zulhijah 1447 H and the Single Global Hijriyah Calendar 1447 Hijriyah, Muhammadiyah sets 1 Syawal 1447 H or Idul Fitri 2026 on Friday, 20 March 2026.
Thus, a brief explanation regarding the announcement of the Isbat session results for Eid 2026 this afternoon along with the complete schedule and viewing links.
