This year, Ramadan in France begins on March 1, 2025. This holy month of the Muslim religion encourages observers to fast from dawn until dusk. This is one of the five pillars of Islam. The end of Ramadan is marked by the feast of Eid-el-Fitr. But when will this take place?
First of all, Ramadan dates are set according to the Hegira calendar, also known as the Islamic or Muslim calendar . As this is based on lunar cycles, it differs by a few days from the Gregorian calendar to which we are accustomed. The start and end dates of Ramadan are first estimated according to astronomical calculations, before being officially confirmed on what is known as the Night of Doubt. On this night, the sky is observed to determine whether the crescent moon marking the start of the new month is visible or not.

Astronomical calculations had previously estimated the date of Eid el Fitr at March 30, 2025. This date was confirmed during a second Night of Doubt, when the religious commission met at the Grand Mosque of Paris. This Saturday, March 29, 2025, it confirms this date. Ramadan and fasting therefore come to an end on this day, andEid El Fitr takes place on Sunday March 30, 2025.
