Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah, and its determination in the Gregorian calendar depends on the sighting of the new moon for Dhu al-Hijjah. If the first of Dhu al-Hijjah is a Thursday, then Eid will be on Saturday, January 31st. The fundamental principle for Muslims is to operate according to the Hijri calendar, as it is intrinsically linked to acts of worship and religious rulings.
