The Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) on Tuesday forecast that Eidul Azha was expected to fall on May 27. “The new moon of Zilhajj 1447 AH is expected to be born on May 17 at 1:01am,” it said in a statement. It said that at sunset the same day, the age of the new moon would be approximately 18 hours and 30 minutes. It estimated an interval of 60 minutes between “sunset and moonset along the country’s coastal belt”. “Based on these astronomical parameters, the chances of sighting the Zilhajj crescent on the evening of May 17 are considered favourable,“ Suparco said, adding it would be subject to clear weather conditions and visibility near the horizon. “Consequently, the 1st Zilhajj 1447 AH is anticipated to fall on Monday, May 18, marking the conclusion of the holy month of Zilqad,” it said. Therefore, Eidul Azha will fall on May 27, Suparco said. “The final decision regarding the sighting of the Zilhajj crescent and the commencement of the holy month will be made by the Central Ruet-i-Hilal Committee of Pakistan, which is the sole competent authority to announce the beginning of Islamic months on credible witness testimonies and verified observations from across the country,” the statement concluded.

KARACHI: The Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SPARCO) has forecast a likely sighting of the moon marking the beginning of the Islamic month of Zilhajj on May 17, suggesting that Eidul Adha could fall on May 27 in the country. In a statement, Pakistan’s space agency said that the new moon of Zilhajj 1447 Hijri is expected to be born at 1:01 am Pakistan Standard Time on May 17, 2026. The agency said the moon’s age at sunset on May 17 would be approximately 18 hours and 30 minutes, while the time difference between sunset and moonset in Pakistan’s coastal areas was expected to be around 60 minutes. Based on these astronomical parameters, SPARCO said the chances of sighting the Zilhajj moon on the evening of May 17 were considered favourable, provided weather conditions remained clear and visibility near the horizon was good. The agency said the first day of Zilhajj was expected to fall on Monday, May 18, marking the end of the Islamic month of Ziqad. SPARCO added that Eidul Adha was likely to be observed on May 27. However, the agency noted that the final decision regarding the sighting of the Zilhajj moon and the beginning of the new Islamic month would be made by Pakistan’s Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee based on credible testimonies and verified observations received from across the country.
