Here is the date of Eid al-Fitr in France, according to the CFCM

In accordance with scientific calculations, the conjunction of the new moon of Shawwal 1447 H will take place on Thursday, March 19, 2026 at 01:23 (Universal Time). The religious authority specifies that "the conditions for the visibility of the new moon announcing the end of Ramadan 1447 H are therefore met".

This announcement allows the faithful to anticipate the organization of the feast of the breaking of the fast. As this major deadline of the Hijri calendar approaches, the CFCM has wished to address "its best wishes to all Muslims in France and around the world".

The institution recalls that this celebration comes after a month of devotion and sharing. The determination of this date by calculation makes it possible to unify the practice on a national scale, based on the certainty of the lunar cycles validated by the experts.

Finally, the authority stresses that this moment of spiritual joy must remain focused on fraternity. It encourages believers to prepare this transition between the sacred month and the beginning of the month of Shawwal serenely.
