Eid moon sighting: Ruet-e-Hilal Committee meeting set for March 30

  • Committee to determine Eid-ul-Fitr date after vetting testimonies.
  • Moonsighting meeting to be held at Ministry of Religious Affairs.
  • As per Suparco, Shawwal moon is likely to be visible on March 30.

ISLAMABAD: The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, along with zonal committees, will convene on Sunday evening, March 30, 2025 (corresponding to Ramazan 29, 1446 A.H.), to sight the Shawwal moon, marking the potential end of the holy month of Ramadan.

The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee’s meeting will be held at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony.  

Religious scholars, meteorological experts, and other stakeholders will deliberate on moon sighting reports from across the country during the session to determine the date for Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations across Pakistan. 

The beginning of the ninth and holiest month in the Muslim calendar — as well as the Eid holidays and the mourning month of Muharram — is determined by the sighting of the new moon.

Last month, the Pakistan Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) forecasted the visibility of the Ramadan and Shawwal crescents using scientific assessments, astronomical calculations, and modern observational data.

According to astronomical models, the Shawwal moon will be visible on March 30, indicating that Eid-ul-Fitr will likely fall in Pakistan on March 31, 2025.

Since the unaided-eye observation of the crescent moon is a religious obligation for determining the start of the holy month, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will examine testimonies from across the country and formally announce the official commencement of this year’s Ramadan.
