UAE announces Sunday as first day of Eid Al Fitr 2020 - Arabianbusiness:

The UAE will celebrate the first day of Eid al-Fitr on Sunday May 24, after a meeting of the UAE's moon-sighting committee.

The state news agency WAM, said the moon-sighting committee announced the news after its meeting tonight at the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department.

Sultan bin Saeed Al Badi Al Dhaheri, Minister of Justice, and chairman of the committee, said the committee, after exhausting the sharia methods of sighting the crescent and making the necessary contacts with neighbouring countries, could not detect the Shawal month crescent moon on Friday evening, and therefore declares that tomorrow, Saturday, the 23rd of May, is the last day of Ramadan 1441, and that Sunday, the 24th of May, is the first day of Eid al-Fitr.
