Dear All,
I've just made a phone call to the Kowloon Mosque and they have confirmed that the Eid al-Fitr will be on Friday and Ramadan fasting continues tomorrow.
Best regards, Alan Sent on the road

Dear Belayet,
According to my calculations time of Eid prayer will be at between 6.30am and 7.30am in that part of Hong Kong. (Sunrise is 6.02am on 8th of August)
But, as Alan said, the day estimated as last day of Ramadan can be celebrated as a first day of Eid al-Fitr in Hong Kong according to condition of the moon, as you know.
So, you have to check committees decision at night of August 7 to learn which day Eid al-Fitr starts.
Best regards,
Nazif İlbek

Dear Belayet,
I have just called the Kowloon Masjid about the Eid prayer. They replied that a committee will decide on Wednesday around 8-9pm local time with the moon sighting to determine whether the Eid will be on the 8th or the 9th of August. Therefore it is rather premature for us to propose any date prior to their announcement.
You may call this number +852 2724 0095 to the Kowloon Masjid after they have made a decision.
Best regards, Alan Lai
2013/8/5 Belayet Hossain bellayet@gmail.com Hello, Any one from local team can inform us the date of Eid al-Fitr at Hong Kong and which time the Eid Prayer will be held at Kowloon Moshjid. Since Kowloon Moshjid is near to the conference venue, Muslim attendees may want to attend the prayer at the Moshjid.
Please Not: This Eid prayer held once in a year. If there is a opportunity Muslim may never want to miss that prayer.
