In the morning of Eid Al Fitr in Qatar, people exchange greetings and congratulate each other for the arrival of the Eid. They go to mosques in order to pray the Eid prayer and they go to their home to gather around with their families and loved ones to talk about the Eid. In fact, the father is joined by his children to welcome the visitors and the neighbors with a special dish, called “Al Fala” or “Al Fawala”, which is a famous tradition in Qatar that reflects the generosity and the hospitality of the Qataris. This dish is made mainly from the Omani sweet, “Al Khanfouch”, dates, “Al Qars”, and other ingredients. The Qataris on this occasion move from a house to another in order to congratulate the families with kind words such as “Eid Mubarak, may Allah bless you with another Eid next year”. Also, people often offer clothes or toys to the children to make them happy.
Eid Al Fitr is celebrated in Qatar in many ways, like using joss-sticks and fumes in the houses and in the popular neighbors until its beautiful scents fill everywhere. And concerning the clothing, the Qataris make sure they wear new and traditional clothes for the occasion of Eid Al Fitr such as “Al Ghutra” and “Al Aukaal” which shows the authenticity and the identity of the Arabic and Islamic world. They are also keen to kinship with their parents and their friends. In fact, some of them prefer to head to the parks, shopping centers and entertainment centers to have a quality time with their families.
Concerning the determination of the first Eid day, the ministry of Awqaf and Islamic affairs is the authority in charge in Qatar, as its members meet the night of doubt in order to observe the Helal and to make an announcement about the exact date, which is done in the 29th of Ramadan.
It is expected that Eid Al Fitr 2027/1448 in Qatar will correspond to the Tuesday 9 March 2027 with a one day difference. Assabile website will announce the date of the Eid in Qatar immediately after its announcement by the Qatari ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs.
Eid Mubarak, may Allah bless you and your loved ones.

Eid al-Fitr 2027 (1448 AH) is expected on Tuesday, March 9, 2027, according to the Umm al-Qura calendar. The official date depends on the moon sighting in each country and may differ by one day.
When is Eid al-Fitr 2028 (Qatar)?
Eid al-Fitr 2028 (1449 AH) is expected on Saturday, February 26, 2028, according to the Umm al-Qura calendar. The official date depends on the moon sighting in each country and may differ by one day.
How many days until Eid al-Fitr 2027 (Qatar)?
On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, there are 146 days left until Eid al-Fitr 2027 (expected date: Tuesday, March 9, 2027, according to the Umm al-Qura calendar). The official date depends on the sighting of the crescent moon in each country and may differ by one day.
Why does the date differ from one country to another?
Each Hijri month begins with the new crescent moon. The Prophet ﷺ said: “Fast when you see it and end the fast when you see it; if it is hidden from you, complete thirty days of Sha’ban” (Bukhari 1909, Muslim 1081). Countries do not all proceed in the same way: many wait for the crescent to be sighted on the evening of the 29th (Morocco, for example, or Nigeria, where the Sultan of Sokoto announces it), others follow Saudi Arabia’s announcement, and others use a calendar calculated in advance (Turkey, through the Diyanet). Jurists also differ on whether a sighting in one country applies to others. Hence a possible difference of one day. The dates on Assabile follow the Umm al-Qura calendar; in practice, people follow the announcement of the religious authorities in their own country: “The fast is the day you fast, the breaking of the fast is the day you break it, and the sacrifice is the day you sacrifice” (Tirmidhi 697).
When does Ramadan 2027 end (Qatar)?
The last day of fasting of Ramadan 2027 is expected on Monday, March 8, 2027, and Eid al-Fitr on Tuesday, March 9, 2027, according to the Umm al-Qura calendar. The official date depends on the sighting of the crescent moon and may differ by one day.
On which Hijri date does Eid al-Fitr fall?
Eid al-Fitr falls on 1 Shawwal of every Hijri year. As the Hijri calendar is lunar, its Gregorian date moves about 11 days earlier each year.
