JERUSALEM, Tuesday, June 04, 2019 (WAFA) – Palestine declared that Wednesday, June 5 will be the first day of Eid al-Fitr.

Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Sheikh Muhammad Hussein declared that Tuesday is complementary to Ramadan and Wednesday, June 5 will mark the beginning of Eid al-Fitr.

“The Palestinian Fatwa Council (Dar al-Iftaa), which convened on Monday night at Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, could not spot the Shawwal crescent moon. Therefore, it has been proven that Tuesday is complementary to the fasting month of Ramadan and Wednesday June 5 will be the first day of Eid al-Fitr festival.”

Meanwhile, President Mahmoud Abbas congratulated the Palestinian people in addition to the Muslim and Arab countries across the world on this glorious occasion.
