In some places it is based on the physical sighting of the ''hilal''; while in others it is determined by the [[Regional Darul Ifta' of Bangsamoro]] (RDI-BARMM) or the [[National Commission on Muslim Filipinos]] (NCMF), especially during cloudy days.<ref name="Lidasan"/><ref name="cp"/><ref name="Cabrera"/> The sighting of the ''hilal'' is traditionally marked by the beating of drums in some regions. In modern times, this has evolved into a noise barrage known as "Mobile Takbir", where celebrants, especially youths, rev their motorcycles or honk their horns while driving through the streets. Guns are also sometimes fired. These practices have been discouraged by the [[Grand Mufti]] of [[Bangsamoro]] and local government officials as not being in accordance with Islamic teachings as well as being dangerous and causing accidents in the past.<ref name="Cabrera">{{cite news |last1=Cabrera |first1=Ferdinandh B. |title=Marawi marks Eid'l Fitr day ahead of date set by Darul Ifta |url=https://www.mindanews.com/top-stories/2019/06/marawi-marks-eidl-fitr-day-ahead-of-date-set-by-darul-ifta/ |access-date=15 January 2020 |work=MindaNews |date=4 June 2019 |archive-date=30 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200730235514/https://www.mindanews.com/top-stories/2019/06/marawi-marks-eidl-fitr-day-ahead-of-date-set-by-darul-ifta/ |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Rosalado">{{cite news |last1=Rosalado |first1=RJ |title=June 5, 2019 declared as Eid'l Fitr in PH |url=https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/03/19/june-5-2019-declared-as-eidl-fitr-in-ph |access-date=15 January 2020 |work=ABS-CBN News |date=3 June 2019 |archive-date=15 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200115174055/https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/03/19/june-5-2019-declared-as-eidl-fitr-in-ph |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Jocson"/> Hariraya is characterized by the giving of gifts (known as ''Eid''), food sharing (''salu-salo''), and visiting the elderly and the sick.<ref name="Jocson">{{cite news |last1=Jocson |first1=Liza |last2=Cabilbigan |first2=Erwin |last3=Ordonez |first3=Erwin |title=Muslims celebrate Eid'l Fitr |url=https://cnnphilippines.com/regional/2015/07/17/eidl-fitr-end-of-ramadan-philippines.html |access-date=15 January 2020 |publisher=CNN |date=17 July 2015 |archive-date=15 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200115174156/https://cnnphilippines.com/regional/2015/07/17/eidl-fitr-end-of-ramadan-philippines.html |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Fernandez |first1=Edwin O. |title=BARMM celebrates Eid al-Fitr |url=https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1126833/barmm-celebrates-eid-al-fitr |access-date=15 January 2020 |newspaper=Philippine Daily Inquirer |date=5 June 2019 |archive-date=15 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200115174102/https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1126833/barmm-celebrates-eid-al-fitr |url-status=live}}</ref> Food, alms, and basic necessities are also donated to the poor, a practice known as ''Fitrana'' or ''Zakat al-Fitr''.
