The Ramadan moon has been sighted across Pakistan, including Lahore and Peshawar. Consequently, the first day of fasting will commence tomorrow.
The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will make formal announcement shortly.
Earlier, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, led by Chairman Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad, convened in Peshawar to determine the sighting of the crescent moon for Ramadan.
Gathered at the Awqaf Hall on Charsadda Road, committee members, along with representatives from the Meteorological Department, SPARCO, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, engaged in discussions to determine the sighting of the Ramadan moon.
It is pertinent here to mention that while the Ramadan moon has been sighted in Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, marking the commencement of fasting, East Asian and Oceania states await the first sighting, with fasting scheduled to begin on March 12.
