Eidul Fitr likely to be observed on March 31 in Pakistan

The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, along with zonal committees, will meet on Sunday evening, March 30, 2025 (Ramazan 29, 1446 A.H.), to sight the Shawwal moon, which will determine the end of Ramadan and the date for Eidul Fitr celebrations in Pakistan.

The main meeting will be held at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, where religious scholars, meteorological experts, and other stakeholders will review moon sighting reports from across the country.

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

According to astronomical models, the Shawwal moon is expected to be visible on March 30, indicating that Eidul Fitr will likely fall on March 31, 2025. However, the final decision will be made after the committee examines testimonies, as unaided-eye moon sighting remains a religious requirement in Pakistan.
