Eidul Adha is expected to be observed in Pakistan on June 7, as astronomical calculations do not indicate any chance to see Zilhajj Moon on May 27. The well -known astronomer Dr. Faheem Hashmi stated that the moon will only be 11 hours old at sunset on May 27, making it too young to be visible everywhere in Pakistan.
However, he predicted that the crescent is likely to be seen on May 28, which would mark the first day of Zilhajj and set June 7 as the probable date of Eidul Adha. “The moon will be over 35 hours old on May 28, increasing the chances of seeing significantly,” Dr. Hashmi.
In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Eidul Adha is expected on June 6, according to the Emirates Astronomy Society.
Its chairman, Ibrahim Al Jarwan, said the crescent will appear at 1 p.m. 07.02 UAE -Time on May 27 and will remain visible for about 38 minutes after sunset, supporting a probable view of the same evening.
According to Gulf News, if the Moon is seen on May 27 in UAE, on May 28 marks the start of Zilhajj, the last month of the Islamic Moon -Calendar.
