All praise is due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Prophet Muhammad.
We thank Allah (SWT) for giving us the ability to fast in the Month of Ramadan, the ability to worship him, and the ability to fulfil our religious and worldly obligations.
The Australian Fatwa Council is pleased to announce to the Australian Muslim community the following:
It has been confirmed to the Australian Fatwa Council after further inquiries to the local and global observatories, that in Sydney, the new moon of the month will be born on Tuesday, 9th April 2024 at 4.20am AEST, the sun sets on the same day at 5.39pm, while the new moon will set on the same day and time, 12 minutes after, at 5.51pm from the horizon. In Perth, Western Australia, the new moon of the month will be born on Tuesday, 9th April 2024 at 2.20am AWST, the sun sets on the same day at 6.02pm while the moon will set, 16 minutes after, at 6.18pm. Therefore:

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐢𝐝 𝐀𝐥-𝐅𝐢𝐭𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐰𝐰𝐚𝐥 𝟏𝟒𝟒𝟓𝐀𝐇
The method in which the Grand M***i of Australia and the Australian Fatwa Council had determined the end of the month of Ramadan, the first day of Shawwal and day of Eid Al-Fitr is based on the calculated birth of the moon before sunset, the duration of the moonset after sunset and the possibility of sighting the moon. This is a method that many prominent and reputable global scholars councils have adopted.
The Australian National Imams Council and the Australian Fatwa Council acknowledge, understand and respect the Imams and scholars who may hold a different opinion, and request all Muslims to respect the different opinions on this matter and work towards the unity of the Muslim community in preserving the common values and interests that they all have and share.
The Grand M***i of Australia, Dr Ibrahim Abu Mohamad, and the member Imams of the Australian National Imams Council, wish the Muslim community a happy, joyful and blessed Eid Al-Fitr, and to remember their brothers and sisters in Gaza – Palestine in their Dua’a, generous donations and ongoing support.
We also encourage the Muslim community to engage with their fellow neighbours and friends in displaying the true and peaceful image of Islam.
