The Islamic Commission of Spain (CIE) has confirmed that Eid al-Fitr — the celebration marking the end of Ramadan — will take place on Sunday 30 March 2025.
The announcement follows moon sightings confirmed in several countries, which determine the beginning of Shawwal, the next month in the Islamic calendar. That means Muslims across Spain will gather on Sunday morning to pray, celebrate and mark the end of a month of fasting.
A day of joy, prayer and community after Ramadan
After a month of fasting from sunrise to sunset, Eid al-Fitr is a moment of relief, reflection and happiness. Families and friends will come together, mosques will host special morning prayers, and communities will share food and give to those in need — a central part of the celebration.
