Eid on June 5, according to the Pakistan’s first Islamic Calendar
SRINAGAR, (PTMK): Eid Al Fitr in Pakistan will be celebrated on June 5, according to the Pakistan’s first moon sighting website and Hijri Calendar launched by Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, Minister of Science and Technology.
This is the first time that Eid day has been announced much before the moon sighting in Pakistan challenging the Islamic clerics who believe that Eid and other main religious events such as Ramadan and Islamic months should be announced only after physical moon sighting.

However, it is not yet clear whether the moon-sighting committee will still meet to decide the Eid day.
