The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee is scheduled to convene tomorrow after evening prayers in Peshawar for the sighting of the Ramadan moon.

According to the committee’s spokesperson, the meeting, chaired by Maulana Abdul Khabir, will determine the sighting of the Ramadan moon for the Hijri year 1445.

Simultaneously, zonal and district Ruet-e-Hilal committees will also gather at their respective locations. The final decision regarding the moon sighting will be announced by the chairman based on testimonies from different parts of the country.

The meteorological department has forecasted the sighting of the Ramadan moon on March 11.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have urged their citizens to look for the Ramadan moon on March 10, indicating the possibility of these countries beginning Ramadan a day earlier than Pakistan, as is often the case.

The sacred month of Ramadan, characterized by devout dedication, will see millions of Pakistanis and billions of Muslims worldwide observing fasting from sunrise to sunset. The duration of fasting may vary between 12 to 17 hours depending on geographical locations across the globe.
