When is id?

Answer 1

Id-ul-Fitr is celebrated on the begining 3 days of Shawwal (10th Month) and comes as a reward or celebration after a whole month of fasting in Ramadan (9th Month).

The Islamic calendar is based on Lunar system better known as the Hijrah Calendar and therefore the months on lunar calendar are not fixed and vary as with the general Gregorian Calendar being followed. Every Hijrah year has few less days than the previous Gregorian year and, therefore, cannot be pre-determined as opposed to the Gregorian Calendar. The main reason being that the months in lunar calendar can vary from 28 - 30 days depending on the lunar cycle.

For Example, in 2005 Id-ul-Fitr came on 3rd of November, in 2006 it was nearly on 26th of October and in 2007 it was celebrated on 12rh of October.
