When is Eid al-Fitr in Afghanistan?
Eid al-Fitr begins after Ramadan and follows the Islamic lunar calendar. The festival marks the end of the fasting month and is associated with prayer, family, food, generosity, and community.
What the figure or term means
In 2026 the UN Headquarters holiday calendar listed Eid al-Fitr on 20 March, while local observance can vary with moon sighting.
Assistance around Eid should avoid implying every family observes in the same way or needs the same support.
