Frequently asked questions

When is Eid al-Adha?

10 Dhu al-Hijjah; Gregorian date varies by lunar-calendar authority/community (27 May in the cited 1447 AH/2026 calendars) The stored recurrence guidance is: 10 Dhu al-Hijjah; resolve the Gregorian date using the target community’s authoritative Hijri calendar/moon-sighting determination.

Does Eid al-Adha fall on the same date every year?

It is not safely predictable from a fixed rule; the target year needs a current source.

Is Eid al-Adha an official public holiday?

The authority record verifies it within this scope: Islam / Eid al-Adha (also called Eid-e-Ghorban/Qurban), beginning on 10 Dhu al-Hijjah. That recognition does not by itself make it a statutory public holiday; the site only makes public-holiday claims when the supporting authority record explicitly does so.

Who established or recognizes Eid al-Adha?

The stored designation basis is: Islamic calendar authorities place Eid al-Adha on 10 Dhu al-Hijjah; the corresponding Gregorian date may differ by community because lunar-calendar determinations can vary.. Supporting provenance includes IMAM-US — Dhu al-Hijjah 1447 crescent/calendar notice. The site does not infer a separate creator or founder unless reviewed evidence establishes one.

Is Eid al-Adha international or country-specific?

No single country is assigned to this record in the authority dataset. The source-defined scope is: Islam / Eid al-Adha (also called Eid-e-Ghorban/Qurban), beginning on 10 Dhu al-Hijjah. Use that scope rather than assuming worldwide or country-specific status.
