Eid-ul-Adha: The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee meeting to sight the moon of Eid al-Adha will be held in Islamabad tomorrow.
Dawn News quoted state-run broadcaster Radio Pakistan as saying that the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee meeting to sight the moon of Dhul Hijjah 1446 AH will be chaired by Chairman Maulana Syed Muhammad Abdul Khabir Azad.
The Zonal Ruet-e-Hilal Committees will also hold meetings at their respective headquarters to see the moon of Eid al-Adha.
It may be noted that earlier this week, Suparco had issued a prediction based on ‘scientific analysis, astronomical data, and modern observation techniques’ regarding the sighting of the moon of Dhul Hijjah 1446 AH.
In a statement, Suparco had said that the birth of the new moon of Dhul Hijjah will be on May 27, which means that the festival of Eid al-Adha is likely to be celebrated across Pakistan on June 7.
