Aidil Adha 2023 Announcement

Salam members and friends, 
1^st Dhul Hijjah and Aidil Adha (Hari Raya Haji)
 
The Islamic Shura Council of southern California has just announced the start of the month of Dhul Hijjah and the date for Eid al-Adha 1444 AH. Below is an excerpt of the announcement:
 
“The Supreme Court of Saudi Arabia has announced that Monday, June 19, will mark the first day of Dhul Hijjah. Therefore the ‘day of Arafah’ (hari wukuf) will be on Tuesday, June 27 and Eid al-Adha 1444 AH will be on Wednesday, June 28, 2023.”
 
MIFNA will not be organizing Aidil Adha prayer on June 28. Members are encouraged to perform the prayer at their local masajid or Islamic centers. The Shura council will announce the timing and logistics of Eid prayer locations as they are finalized. Please go to shuracouncil.org for more information about prayer locations closer to the date.
 
MIFNA will not be organizing Qurban this year either. Members may donate for Qurban through their local masajid or online to any Islamic charity organizations such as:
