Thanks a lot!

Happy Eid in advance!
I'll try and find out tonight and then post back here what i find.

Eid is Friday
dear all coudl some one let me know if ramadaan eid in Switzerland is tomrorow 9 september 2010
Yes it is.
Hold on.. Europe announced that tomorrow, Thursday is Eid.
HOWEVER, Switzerland is following Saudi Arabia, and thus, tomorrow is Ramadan and Friday is Eid.
Wie die Stiftung Islamische Gemeinschaft in Zürich mitteilt, ist am Donnerstag 9. September 2010 der letzte Tag des Ramadan 2010/1431. Somit ist das Ramadanfest ('Id al-Fitr) am Freitag, 10. September 2010.
Über die Gründe, warum dies im Widerspruch zu den meisten türkischen, albanischen und bosnischen Kalendern steht, kann unter www.mondsichtung.de nachgelesen werden.
Es besteht die Möglichkeit, am Festgebet, das durch die Stiftung Islamische Gemeinschaft durchgeführt wird, teilzunehmen. Es findet statt in der Stadthalle Dietikon an der Fondlistrasse 15 (siehe Lageplan) und beginnt und beginnt um 8.45 Uhr.
On our schedual who follows Weil Am Rhein and Basel it says tomorrow is Eid.
The reality is that outside of the Muslim world, you'll find differences on the date of Eid even within one city, with some mosques celebrating Eid on one day, and others the next.
It appears that the Turkish communities will be doing Eid on Thursday, and the rest on Friday.
Kathy, this mosque has facilities for women and will be offering the Eid prayer at around 7.30am on Thursday morning:
hmmm.. so its not that all Switzerland have Eid on the same day or what?
when you say schedule...is it the paper with the prayer times? they are not a reference for defining end of ramadan. It requires the sighting of the moon crescent of the new month.
I heard in Saudi Arabia and Lebanon it's on Friday.
Don't know so far for Switzerland
According to good Swiss tradition, each Kanton should of course have it's own calendar for it
Zakat is not fixed, it is fitrana also known as zakat ul fitr, zakat is calculated against your earnings, savings, gold etc, 2% of your savings have to be paid to the needy people
it's zakat el fitra we are talking about. The zakat on your assets and earnings can be paid anytime of year but must be calculated on 12 months
Heard that the Turkish folks will celebrate on Thursday because EU says it is tomorrow but the rest of the folks in CH say Friday. I'll settle for Friday because I don't see the moon tonight.
Kash! Again, thanks a lot
You're so informative xxx
