Federal public holidays. The Federal Government confirms Islamic holiday dates and days off in lieu shortly before each holiday.

Dates marked tentative follow the moon: Islamic holidays use the Umm al-Qura calendar and depend on the moon sighting, and festival dates for years without an official list are estimated. The official date can differ by a day.
