The federal government officially announced holidays for Eidul Fitr, from March 31 to April 2.
A notification issued by the Cabinet Secretariat stated that the prime minister has declared these dates as holidays to celebrate Eidul Fitr.
The holiday period will run from Monday to Wednesday, allowing citizens to observe the festivities and celebrate the occasion.
Meanwhile, the Central Committee of Ruet-E-Hilal, together with the Zonal Committees, will meet on Sunday, March 30, 2025 (Ramazan 29, 1446 AH), to see the Shawwal moon, marking the potential end of the Sacred Month of Ramadan and the beginning of the Eid Ul-Fitr celebrations in Pakistan.
The meeting will be held at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interreligious Harmony, where religious scholars, weather experts and other interested parties will meet to examine the moon sighting reports throughout the country.
This session will determine the exact date for Eid Ul-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan, the most sacred month in the Islamic calendar.
Previously, in February 2025, the Space Research Commission and the upper atmosphere of Pakistan (Supparco) predicted the visibility of Ramadan and Shawwal’s growing based on scientific evaluations, astronomical calculations and observation data.
According to these models, the Shawwal moon is expected to be visible on March 30, indicating that Eid Ul-Fitr will probably fall on March 31, 2025.
