The committee’s meeting, led by its chairman, is being held on the roof of the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ Kohsar Block. A modern optical telescope, provided by SPARCO, has been installed to aid in the sighting process. Zonal committees are also meeting in provincial capitals.
According to the Research Ruet-e-Hilal Council, the moon’s age at sunset will be around 26 hours, making it highly likely to be visible. The Meteorological Department and SPARCO also predict favorable sighting conditions.
The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will review all received testimonies before making the official Shawwal announcement. The federal government has already declared Eid-ul-Fitr holidays from March 31st to April 2nd.
Consequently, on the evening of 29 Ramadan, Sunday, March 30th, 2025, at sunset, the moon’s age, which must be a minimum of 18 hours for sighting, will exceed 26 hours across all areas of Pakistan. This prediction suggests that the moon will be readily visible in any region of Pakistan with clear skies on the evening of Sunday, March 30th, 2025.
