"Dream - The government through the Ministry of Religious Affairs has decided that 1 Zulhijah 1445 Hijriah/2024 AD falls on Saturday, June 8, 2024. Therefore, Eid al-Adha falls on Monday, June 17, 2024. "It is agreed that 1 Zulhijah 1445 H falls on Saturday, June 8, 2024. And Eid al-Adha falls on Monday, June 17, 2024," said Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs of Indonesia, Saiful Rahmat Dasuki, during a press conference on the early determination of Zulhijah 1445H in Jakarta, Friday, June 7, 2024."

Saiful explained that the decision on the initial determination of Zulhijah and the Idul Adha holiday was made by considering the results of the hisab posisi hilal (lunar position calculation) and the rukyatul hilal (moon sighting reports) from 114 points in 34 provinces. With this determination, the Idul Adha holiday is celebrated simultaneously throughout the country. Previously, the Central Board (PP) of Muhammadiyah had determined that Idul Adha 2024 or 10 Zulhijah 1445 Hijriah falls on Monday, June 17, 2024.

On Thursday, June 6, 2024, which coincides with the 29th of Zulkaidah according to the Muhammadiyah calculation calendar, the crescent of Zulhijah has not yet been sighted. The Moon's altitude at sunset in Yogyakarta was recorded at minus 3 degrees 32 minutes 39 seconds. Based on this calculation, the age of the Zulkaidah moon in 1445 H is adjusted to 30 days, so the beginning of Zulhijah will fall on Saturday, June 8, 2024.

"According to the calculations of tarjih, the Day of Arafah or 9 Zulhijah 1445 Hijri falls on Sunday, June 16, 2024. Therefore, 10 Zulhijah 1445 or Eid al-Adha falls on Monday, June 17, 2024," said Sayuti in his statement on Wednesday, May 2, 2024. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has determined that Eid al-Adha on 10 Dzulhijjah 1445 H this year falls on Sunday, June 16, 2024. This is based on the observation of the hilal which sets 1 Zulhijjah on June 7, 2024."
