This year, there’s a high probability that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia will mark Eid-ul-Fitr on the same day, Wednesday, April 10, 2024. Traditionally, Pakistan observes Eid a day after Saudi Arabia, but this year’s celestial conditions could lead to a synchronized celebration.
Saudi Arabia has confirmed April 10 as the start of Eid-ul-Fitr after the Shawwal crescent moon was not sighted on Monday. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s moon-sighting committee is meeting today to determine Eid’s date, with experts suggesting the possibility of sighting the crescent in parts of the country.
The recent solar eclipse on April 8 has made moon sighting challenging in Saudi Arabia, but Pakistan may have better visibility. If the moon is sighted today in Pakistan, both countries will celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr together.
Stay updated as we await the official announcements from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia regarding Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations.
