The first day of Eidul Azha will be celebrated across Pakistan on August 1 (Saturday), Central Ruet-i-Hilal Committee Chairman Mufti Muneebur Rehman announced on Tuesday evening.
​

The announcement was preceded by meetings of the moon-sighting committee and other zonal committees in all provincial capitals of the country.

In a notification, the religious affairs ministry said that the Zilhaj moon had not been sighted and 1st Zilhaj, 1441AH would commence from July 23.

​

In June, Science and Technology Minister Fawad Chaudhry had stated the nation will celebrate Eidul Azha on July 31.

In a tweet, the minister said the Zilhaj moon would be visible over Karachi and nearby areas on July 21. “The Ruet app may also be used to ascertain the exact location of the moon,” Chaudhry had said.

Punjabi supremacist Fuwwad Ranjit Chowdary should sacrifice a golden calf on 31st July to appease Ishtar.

Fawad Ch is a joke, he wants Eid to be celebrated on the birth of the moon. He doesn't understand the moon is not visible then, it is visible after 12+hours, sometimes longer, its also depends on the location and timing of the sunset, sometimes moon is not on horizon when its sunset so its impossible to see it.

What I dont understand is why he wants to cause fitna? If for example according to the data it states the moon birth will be 21July 2021, and Fawad wants to unite the country and celebrate Eid on 22nd July 2021, what difference would it make to celebrate it after the visibility of the crescent ie 23rd July 2021. If the Nation can unite on the birth of the moon then they also can unite on the visibility of the moon and which is according to the sunnah, it has been practised for 1400years and 1000years in Pakistan.

We have to understand there are many fitna type people out there, we have a Hilal sighting committe and they have people all over Pakistan. They should see the moon if some dude in Peshawar seen it, we also have international Astronomy experts who also claim that in Pakistan its impossible to sight the moon but some dude in Peshawar still claims he has sighted it. Tomorrow somebody may claim he has seen sunrise at 12am and starts to read fajr. Clear sign of fitna and jahalat
