The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will convene on September 4 to sight the moon marking the beginning of Rabi-ul-Awwal, 1446 AH, according to local media sources.

The meeting, chaired by Maulana Abdul Khabeer Azad, will be held at the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony.

Simultaneously, zonal and district Ruet-e-Hilal committees will gather at their respective headquarters to collect evidence of the moon sighting.

The committee includes notable members such as Mufti Zameer Ahmed Sajid, Mufti Muhammad Iqbal Naeemi, Mufti Abdul Salam Jalali, and several other religious scholars.

The sighting of the Rabi-ul-Awwal moon is of significant importance as it determines the date for Eid Milad-un-Nabi, celebrated across Pakistan on the 12th of Rabiul Awwal, honouring the birth of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
