When is Eid 2026?
Although the holiday schedule in the SKB 3 Ministers has been set, the exact date of 1 Shawwal 1447 Hijri or Eid 2026 has several predicted versions. This difference arises because of the diversity of methods used by religious organizations and the government.
- Muhammadiyah version
Based on the Decree of the Muhammadiyah Central Leadership, the determination of the beginning of Shawwal uses the Hisab Hakiki Wujudul Hilal method. Through this calculation, Muhammadiyah concluded that the new moon has been declared visible on Thursday. Therefore, Muhammadiyah set 1 Shawwal 1447 H to fall on Friday, March 20, 2026.
- Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) version
Nahdlatul Ulama uses the imkanur rukyat criteria or the possibility of seeing the new moon directly. Based on the calculation of astronomical data, the position of the new moon on Thursday evening is estimated to be too low and does not meet the minimum visibility limit of 3 degrees. With the potential for istikmal (completion of the Ramadan month to 30 days), NU predicts that 1 Shawwal 1447 H will fall on Saturday, March 21, 2026.
- Republic of Indonesia Government version
The Ministry of Religious Affairs uses the MABIMS criteria, which requires a minimum new moon height of 3 degrees with an elongation of 6.4 degrees. Seeing astronomical data that shows the position of the new moon is still relatively low on March 19, the government estimates that Eid will be in the range of March 21 to 22, 2026. The government’s final decision will still be based on the results of the rukyatul hilal in the field and the isbat hearing held towards the end of Ramadan.
That was a complete explanation of the schedule for the public holiday and Eid al-Fitr 2026. Are you ready to welcome it, detikers?
