Why the date is what it is
Islamic (Hijri) calendar. The date follows the Hijri lunar calendar, which is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, so the holiday moves roughly 11 days earlier each year. The final day is confirmed by moon sighting, so no future Hijri date is ever fully fixed and it can move by a day in either direction.
That is why End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) does not land on the same day everywhere in 2026. Countries applying the rule against a different calendar, a different observation, or a different official announcement arrive at neighbouring dates. Where the difference is one day it is almost always a sighting or an announcement rather than a mistake, and each country page names the authority that fixed it.
