SUPARCO confirms Shawwal moon formation, Eid likely on Monday

Pakistan’s Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) has confirmed that the Shawwal moon was formed on Saturday at 15:58 PST.

According to SUPARCO, by sunset on Sunday, the moon will be approximately 27 hours old, making its sighting in Pakistan highly likely.

The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee is set to meet on Sunday evening to confirm the sighting. Zonal committees will also convene in provincial capitals to verify reports from across the country. If the moon is sighted, Pakistan will celebrate Eidul Fitr on Monday.
