Moon sighted, Eid-ul-Azha on July 17

Bangladesh will celebrate Eid-ul-Azha on Jul 17 as the moon for the month of Zil Hajj has been sighted.
The National Moon Sighting Committee announced the date in a meeting at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque on Friday.
Eid-ul-Azha is traditionally celebrated on the tenth day of Zil Hajj, the final month in the Arabic calendar. Muslims sacrifice animals to mark the day, the second biggest festival for them after Eid-ul-Fitr.
The kingdom will celebrate the Eid on June 16 as the Day of Arafah falls on June 15, the Saudi Supreme Court said in a statement.
