The end of Ramadan is becoming clearer for the Muslim community in France #
This period of intense devotion is about to culminate with the celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr. The date of this celebration, which marks the end of the fast, will be announced on Monday April 8, 2024 by the Grand Mosque of Paris.
This highly anticipated event is a time of joy and rejoicing for Muslims. It not only signifies the end of a month of fasting and prayer, but also the beginning of a new phase of spiritual life. The Grand Mosque of Paris, a central pillar of the Muslim community in France, plays a crucial role in its determination.
The night of doubt and the determination of the date #
The Grand Mosque of Paris is responsible for setting the end date of Ramadan and the start of Eid-el-Fitr. This decision is made during the “night of doubt”, which will take place on Monday April 8, 2024 at 6 p.m. This night is when Muslims observe the sky to see if the crescent moon is visible, signifying the end of the month of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid-ul-Fitr.

To accommodate the Eid celebration, the Grand Mosque of Paris will organize two prayers, at 7:30 a.m. and 8:15 a.m., to cope with the expected crowds. The faithful who were unable to pay the alms for breaking the fast during Ramadan are encouraged to do so on this occasion. According to the Grand Mosque of Paris, the amount of Zakat al-Fitr is set at 7 euros this year.
Debates surrounding the determination of the date #
Determining the end date of Ramadan and the start of Eid-ul-Fitr can sometimes be a source of debate within the Muslim community. The Great Mosque of Paris, for example, relies on the observation of the lunar crescent to set the dates. However, the French Council of Muslim Worship (CFCM) uses scientific data to determine these dates. According to the CFCM, the end date of Ramadan would be Wednesday April 10, 2024.
In addition, this year, according to the CFCM, alms has been set at 9 euros per person, which differs from the amount announced by the Grand Mosque of Paris. Despite these differences, the main thing remains the celebration of the end of the fast and the beginning of a new spiritual phase for Muslims.
