The Bangsamoro Darul-Ifta in the Philippines has declared Saturday, April 21, as the end of Ramadan, which means that Eid al-Fitr will be observed by Muslims in the region on that day. The decision was announced by Sheik Abuhuraira Udasan, the Grand Mufti of the Bangsamoro region, after teams were sent out to observe the moon in various areas but found no sighting of the crescent moon that signals the end of the month-long fasting. Muslims in the region will observe the traditional Eid al-Fitr celebrations, including congregational prayers and family thanksgiving.
