The Sindh government declared a public holiday throughout the province from March 31 to April 2, 2025, for Eid Ul FITR, according to a notification issued by the provincial administration.
According to the communication signed by the chief secretary asif Haider Shah, all the public offices and semi-government will remain closed from Monday to Wednesday.
Earlier, the federal government also announced a three -day public holiday for Eid, the firm division confirming the holidays from March 31 to April 2.
The Central Committee of Rue-E-Hilal, as well as the zonal committees, should meet on Sunday evening March 30, 2025 (corresponding to Ramazan 29, 1446 Ah), to see the Moon Shawwal, marking the potential end of the sacred month of Ramadan.
The meeting of the MoviSieur Committee will take place at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interconfessional Harmony.
Religious scholars, meteorological experts and other stakeholders will deliberate on the observation reports of the moon across the country during the session in order to determine the date of Eid UL FITR celebrations across Pakistan.
The beginning of the ninth and the most holy of the Muslim calendar – as well as the holidays of Eid and the month of mourning of Muharram – is determined by the observation of the new moon.
In February, the Pakistani space research commission and the upper atmosphere (Suparco) provided for the visibility of Ramadan and Shawwal croissants using scientific assessments, astronomical calculations and modern observation data.
According to astronomical models, the Shawwal Moon will be visible on March 30, indicating that Eid Ul Fitr will likely fall in Pakistan on March 31, 2025.
Since the observation without aid of the crescent moon is a religious obligation to determine the beginning of the sacred month, the Committee will examine the testimonies of the whole country and will officially announce the official start of Shawwal of this year.
