Eid al-Adha prayer times 2026: Bali, NTB and NTT schedule

Eid al-Adha 1447 AH falls on Wednesday, 27 May 2026. The determination of 10 Dhu al-Hijjah was made through a synod (sidang isbat) announced by Indonesia’s Ministry of Religious Affairs on 17 May 2026. It is essential for Muslims to know the prayer times for Eid to ensure the worship is conducted in accordance with Islamic law and does not exceed the recommended time. In addition to ensuring the validity of the prayer, this schedule also helps worshippers prepare more effectively. What time is the Eid al-Adha prayer in 2026, particularly in Bali and Nusa Tenggara? Below is the prayer schedule and intention.

Eid al-Adha Prayer Timing

According to NU Online, Islamic jurisprudence guidelines recommend that the optimal time for Eid al-Adha prayer is as soon as possible after sunrise, specifically 15-20 minutes after the sun appears on the eastern horizon. Astronomically, Eid prayer times in Indonesia typically fall between 6:30 and 7:30 local time. Therefore, the public is advised to follow the local schedule, as Eid prayer times may vary depending on geographical location and time zone.

Generally, the estimated Eid al-Adha prayer times across Indonesia’s time zones are: Western Indonesia Time (WIB): 6:30–7:00 WIB; Central Indonesia Time (WITA): 7:00–7:30 WITA; Eastern Indonesia Time (WIT): 7:30–8:00 WIT.

Eid al-Adha Prayer Schedule in Bali

Bali is in the Central Indonesia Time (WITA) zone, which is one hour ahead of WIB. Therefore, Eid prayers across Bali, including Denpasar, typically commence around 7:00 WITA.

West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) is also in the Central Indonesia Time (WITA) zone. In areas such as Mataram, Eid prayers are typically held between 6:30 and 7:00 WITA. Meanwhile, in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), particularly Kupang, Eid prayers usually begin earlier, around 6:20–7:00 WITA, to align with the earlier sunrise in eastern Indonesia. Nevertheless, the public should confirm local prayer times as set by organisers at mosques or communal prayer grounds.

Eid al-Adha Prayer Intention

For Eid al-Adha prayer, Muslims are advised to understand the intention, a crucial element for the validity of the worship. The prayer intention varies depending on whether it is performed in congregation or individually (munfarid). Both forms of intention are valid and carry merit, provided they are performed to the best of one’s ability for a complete and devout worship.
