Malaysia’s Muslim community will be celebrating Aidiladha, or Hari Raya Korban, on Thursday September 24.
The date was confirmed by the assistant secretary to the Conference of Rulers Mohd Aseral Jusman last night, after consultation with Islamic astronomers and jurisprudence (fiqh) experts.
“In adherence to the command of the Yang diPertuan Agong, following the consent of the Rulers, I hereby declare that 1 Zulhijah 1436 Hijrah falls on Sept 15.
“As such, Aidiladha (10 Zulhijah) for the states in Malaysia will be on Thursday, Sept 24, 2015,” he said.
