In connection with the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, the authorities of Dagestan declared the days from April 10 to 12 non-working. In Chechnya, the weekend will be from April 9 to 11. Decrees on non-working days in the republics were signed by Sergei Melikov and Muslim Khuchiev, respectively.

“Eid Mubarak” is how believers congratulate each other on the day the fast ends, which means wishing them a blessed holiday. Over the past month, devout Muslims have refused to eat, drink, or smoke during the daytime, leaving it all at night. It is believed that this allows you to “rebuild” the body and harden it.
