The federal government has officially declared March 31 (Monday) to April 2 (Wednesday) as public holidays for Eid ul-Fitr.
According to a notification from the Cabinet Division, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will convene on March 30, 2025 (Ramazan 29, 1446 AH) to sight the Shawwal moon and determine the exact date for Eid celebrations. The meeting, set to take place at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony, will include religious scholars, meteorological experts, and other stakeholders.
Scientific assessments from Suparco indicate that the Shawwal crescent is expected to be visible on March 30, making March 31 the likely date for Eid in Pakistan. However, the final announcement will be based on moon sighting testimonies across the country.
Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, and is traditionally determined by the sighting of the new moon.
