Dubai: Authorities in Dubai have finalised arrangements for Eid al Fitr prayers, with more than 900 mosques prepared to استقبال worshippers across the emirate.
The Presidential Court confirmed that Eid will be observed on Friday after completing 30 days of Ramadan, following the non-sighting of the crescent moon.
Eid prayers in Dubai are scheduled to begin at 6:40 AM. Arrangements are being overseen by the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department in coordination with the Dubai Resilience Center to ensure safety and smooth crowd management.
Authorities confirmed that prayers will be held only inside mosques this year, with no open Eidgahs or outdoor prayer grounds due to security considerations.
The “Muaddin Al-Freej” initiative will continue, encouraging children to participate in leading takbeers and prayers, promoting community involvement.
The UAE Fatwa Council also clarified that if Eid falls on a Friday, both Eid and Friday (Jumu’ah) prayers will be conducted at their respective times in mosques.
Worshippers have been advised to arrive early to avoid congestion and to follow all safety guidelines. Similar arrangements have been implemented across other emirates, including Sharjah, to ensure a safe and organised Eid prayer experience.
