Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr

Today, Muslims of the North Caucasus, together with their fellow believers from other Russian regions and around the world, celebrate Eid al-Fitr. This is one of the most ancient Muslim holidays, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, during which believers fasted, abstaining from food, drink and worldly pleasures from sunrise to sunset.

Followers of Islam celebrate the holiday for three days. In Arabic, it is called "Eid al-Fitr", which translates as "the holiday of breaking the fast". In Turkic languages, it received its name from the words "Ruza" ("fast") and "Bayram" ("holiday").

Chechen officials congratulated the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, and his mother, Aymani, on the end of Ramadan. In Ingushetia, a food fair was held at prices 15-20% below market prices, as announced by local authorities. In his speech, the Head of Ingushetia, Makhmud-Ali Kalimatov, separately noted the charity events that took place during Ramadan.

The Head of Karachay-Cherkessia, Rashid Temrezov, together with other residents of the republic, participated in the festive prayer in the Cathedral Mosque. A collective Iftar was held in the Cathedral Mosque of Kabardino-Balkaria with the participation of the head of the region, Kazbek Kokov.
