A meeting of the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee in Karachi has begun to sight the Zilhaj moon, according to the religious affairs ministry.
This meeting is taking place at the Pakistan Meteorological Department building in Karachi with simultaneous zonal meetings in the provincial capitals and Islamabad.
Officials from the Peshawar zonal meeting said the moon was spotted albeit the central committee would make the official announcement.
A day ago, Saudi Arabia’s Supreme Court announced the sighting of the Zilhaj moon with the last month of the Islamic calendar beginning today.
The rituals of Haj will commence on June 14 with the Day of Arafat on June 15. Eidul Azha will be observed in the kingdom on June 16.
