Muharram Moon Unlikely to be Seen Today

The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee is set to meet in Quetta on Saturday to sight the moon marking the start of Muharram-ul-Haram 1446 Hijri. However, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has indicated that the Muharram moon is unlikely to be visible today.

Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad, Chairman of the moon-sighting body, will preside over the meeting to determine the beginning of the Islamic calendar’s first month.

Simultaneously, zonal and district bodies of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will hold their respective meetings at their headquarters.
