Eidul Azha Likely on June 7 as Zil Hajj Moon Unlikely to Be Sighted on May 27
According to astronomical data, the new moon of Zil Hajj 1446 AH will be born on May 27, 2025, at 08:02 PST. However, at sunset on the same day, corresponding to 29th Ziqad 1446 AH, the moon will only be about 11 hours and 34 minutes old.
The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) reports that the interval between sunset and moonset along Pakistan’s coastal areas will be approximately 37 minutes.
Despite these conditions, the new moon will not be visible—even with the aid of telescopes—under optimal weather scenarios.
