When is Eid in Pakistan?
The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee has decided to meet on March 30 (Sunday) to perform the moon sighting ceremony of Shawwal moon to determine the date of Eid ul Fitr 2025.
The sighting of Shawwal moon would mark the conclusion of the holy month of Ramadan in Pakistan.
Diverse experts constitute the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee including religious scholars, meteorological experts, and other who will deliberate on testimonies received from across the country.
Traditionally, the committee receives multiple testimonies from across Pakistan during the session after which experts determine the date for starting the new Islamic month.
Pakistan witnessed the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan on March 2, as the Ramadan moon was not sighted on February 28.
