ISLAMABAD: Shawal moon is likely to be sighted in Pakistan on April 9 and the auspicious festival of Eid ul Fitr 2024 is likely to be celebrated on April 10 (Wednesday), according to astronomical predictions.

Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad has also said that Eidul Fitr 2024 is likely to fall on Wednesday, April 10 in Pakistan.

Maulana Azad revealed that scientific observations revealed that the Shawwal crescent moon will likely be sighted on the 29th of Ramadan this year.

Pakistanis will have a 29-day Ramadan and will celebrate Eid ul Fitr 2024 on April 10 if the crescent moon is sighted on April 9.

 The sighting of the Shawal moon holds immense significance in the Islamic calendar, as it determines the conclusion of the month-long fasting period. Religious authorities and moon-sighting committees across the country will be diligently observing the skies on the evening of April 9 to confirm the sighting of the new moon.

As the anticipation builds for the sighting of the Shawal moon, people across Pakistan eagerly await official announcements from religious authorities regarding the confirmation of Eid ul Fitr.
