ISLAMABAD: A meeting of the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee has been called on Friday, February 28, 2025, to sight the moon for Ramadan 1446 Hijri.

As per the media report, the meeting will be held in Peshawar under the chairmanship of Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad, the head of the committee.

It is scheduled for Friday, the 29th of Shaban 1446 Hijri, at the Auqaf Department building in Peshawar.

The federal government decided to hold the meeting in Peshawar to ensure Ramadan starts at the same time across the country.

A few days ago, the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) suggested that Ramadan might begin in Pakistan on March 2, 2025.

According to SUPARCO, the new moon will be born on February 28, 2025, at 5:45 AM Pakistan time, and by sunset, it will be 12 hours old. They noted that the moon might be visible in Saudi Arabia on February 28, but not in Pakistan.

SUPARCO also predicted that the Shawwal moon could be sighted across Pakistan on March 30, 2025, meaning Eid-ul-Fitr might be celebrated on March 31, 2025.

However, they said the final decision on the Ramadan moon sighting rests with the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee.

It should be clear that the final decision on the moon sighting will be made after consultation with the members of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee.

Expected 1st Ramadan 2025 moon sighting date in Pakistan:
