Eid al-Fitr

General Practices

Muslims often pray, exchange gifts, give money to children, feast, and celebrate with friends and family.

Description

Eid al-Fitr means "break the fast", and is the last day of Ramadan, marking the end of a month of fasting.

Recommended Accommodations

Avoid scheduling important academic deadlines, events, or activities on this date. Employees will likely ask to take a vacation day on this day, and that request should be granted if at all possible. If planning an evening event, provide food accommodations if requested (Islamic dietary restrictions apply).
