The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will meet in Peshawar today (Friday) to sight the Ramadan moon. Although the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) announced the sighting would be unlikely because of today’s cloudy weather.
The committee, led by Maulana Abdul Khabeer Azad, will gather at 6:30 p.m. on February 28 after the Asr prayer. Religious scholars from different schools of thoughts will join the central meeting. Zonal committees will meet in their respective areas to assess moon sighting reports.

The Met Office forecasts partly cloudy weather across Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, including Peshawar. At sunset, the moon will be around 12 hours old, with a five-degree angle from the sun, making it harder to spot.
The committees will carefully review all reports before announcing the start of Ramadan.
