ISLAMABAD: To sight the Eid-ul-Adha moon, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will meet for sighting of Zil Hajj moon 1446 Hijri to confirm the dates of the coming Eid-ul-Adha.

Chairman of the Committee, Maulana Syed Muhammad Abdul Khabeer Azad, will preside over the meeting.

Moreover, the Zonal Ruet-e-Hilal Committees will also meet separately at their respective headquarters for sighting of the Eid ul Adha moon.

Earlier, the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) had said that the moon of Zilhajja can be sighted on the night of May 28, and the first day will fall on May 29.Eid-ul-adha shall fall on June 7, 2025, if the moon is sighted on the night of May 28.

The SUPARCO said that the moon will be born on May 27 at 08:02 am, so it is unlikely to sight it on the night of May 27. According to precise astronomical models, the sighting of the crescent of Zilhaj is expected on May 29.

“The visibility of the crescent depends on key factors such as the moon’s age, its angular separation from the sun, altitude at sunset, and atmospheric conditions,” read the statement issued by the Suparco.
