The moon for the Islamic month of Safar 1446 Hijri was not sighted anywhere in Pakistan, according to Express News.
Meetings of the moon-sighting committees were held across the country, with representatives from the Meteorological Department and SUPARCO in attendance.
No reports of moon sightings were received by the zonal moon-sighting committees from any part of the country. Consequently, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, which met in Lahore, announced that the moon of Safar had not been sighted.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs issued a notification stating that due to the absence of moon sightings, Tuesday, August 6, will mark the 30th day of Muharram.
The first day of Safar 1446 Hijri will be observed on Wednesday, August 7.
