Eid-ul-Fitr likely to celebrated on 22 April, 2023

Islamabad: (Staff Reporter) Ruet-e-Hilal Research Council Secretary General Khalid Ijaz Mufti claims that Eid-ul-Fitr is likely to be celebrated on April 22 (Saturday) after the completion of 30 days of the holy month of Ramzan.

According to the source, Mr. Mufti said that according to scientific calculations, the new moon would be born at 9:13am according to Pakistan time on April 20 (Thursday) and the age of the moon would be less than 10 hours on that day.

As per details he said “the age of the moon should be more than 19 hours to be visible. So even if any information is there on that day, the moon will not be visible.”

Furthermore Mr. Mufti said April 21 would be the 30th of Ramzan and April 22 1st of Shawwal. He clearly said any evidence of Shawwal moon on the evening of April 20 would not be reliable.
