According to Suparco, Eidul Azha is expected on May 27.

Based on astronomical calculations, the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) said on Tuesday that Eidul Azha is anticipated to occur on May 27.

The new moon of Zilhajj 1447 AH is predicted to be born on May 17 at 1:01 a.m., according to a statement from SUPARCO.

The space agency also stated that the new moon’s age would be approximately 18 hours and 30 minutes at sunset on the same day, although the time difference between sunset and moonset in Pakistan’s coastal regions is predicted to be almost 60 minutes.

The likelihood of seeing the Zilhajj crescent on May 17 in the evening is “favourable,” according to SUPARCO, if there is clear weather and visibility close to the horizon.

It also said that May 18, which is the conclusion of the month of Zilqad, is probably going to be the first day of Zilhajj 1447 AH.

Eidul Azha is anticipated to be observed on May 27 based on these forecasts.

SUPARCO noted, however, that the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, which releases dates based on confirmed sightings from all around the nation, has the last say over the moon sighting and the beginning of the Islamic month.
