Ruet-e-Hilal Committee to Observe Dhul-Hijjah Moon Today

The meeting will be chaired by religious scholars and committee members, while zonal committees in different parts of the country will also gather to collect moon sighting testimonies. Religious authorities, meteorological experts, and officials from the Pakistan Meteorological Department are expected to assist in the process.

If the moon is sighted today, the first day of Dhul-Hijjah will begin tomorrow, and Eid-ul-Adha will be observed accordingly after ten days. However, if the crescent is not visible, the current Islamic month will complete 30 days before the new month officially begins.

Every year, the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee’s announcement is closely followed by millions of Muslims across the country, as it marks the beginning of preparations for one of the most significant Islamic festivals. Eid-ul-Adha is celebrated with special prayers, animal sacrifices, and gatherings among family and communities.

Authorities have urged citizens to rely on official announcements regarding moon sighting reports and avoid spreading unverified information on social media.

The committee’s final decision is expected later in the evening after receiving reports from across the country.
