This year, however, the Hari Raya festive spirit seems to be returning at full force. One of the most enjoyable parts of Hari Raya is getting to visit all my relatives.

Travelling around neighbourhoods and visiting each other’s homes in a huge group was something I did very often prior to COVID-19. During the peak of COVID-19, strict capacity limits and booking systems were implemented at mosques for Hari Raya prayers in order to curb the spread of the disease.

Explained by Mufti of Singapore Nazirudin Mohd Nasir and the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS).

In closing, for the Singapore Muslim community, Ramadan in 2022 will last for 30 days, and Hari Raya Aidilfitri falls on Tuesday 3 May 2022. "For confirmation, the Office of the Mufti together with experts in the science of falak attempted to conduct a physical sighting of the crescent moon, which was unsuccessful (i.e. the new moon was not visible). During the sighting it was also clear that the western horizon was overcast with clouds." "Based on the guidance of the Prophet p.b.u.h., scholars use two primary criteria, hisab (calculation based on the science of astronomy) and rukyah (the sighting of the moon) to determine whether the crescent moon is visible." Essentially, a crescent moon, which traditionally marks the start of a new month in the Islamic calendar, must be spotted in the sky to determine the end of the month of Ramadan, and the start of the Hari Raya month. - the degree of elongation of the sun and the moon (which must exceed 6.4 degrees). Do not fast until you have sighted the crescent moon, do not end your fast (celebrate Eid) until you have seen it (the Syawal crescent moon). If it is obscured from you, then regard the month of Ramadan as 30 days."
