The moon-sighting panel will meet this evening, after Maghreb prayer, at the judicial department in Abu Dhabi, to witness the birth of the month of Shawwal, which signals the end of Ramadan and the advent of Eid Al-Fitr.
The committee was recently established by an edict issued by Justice Minister Ali Abdi.
The Sharia courts across the country will also witness the birth of Shawwal crescent and update the moon-sighting panel, which is chaired by the minister of justice.
