"Eid al-Fitr will probably be on Sunday, March 30," the rector of the Great Mosque of Paris said Friday in an interview with Sud Radio. Chems-Eddine Hafiz added that "today, the issue is to know if it’s Sunday or Monday. For this year, it will probably be Sunday morning. The last day of fasting will be Saturday. We will perform the Eid prayer and we expect many faithful."
