This declaration came after a session of the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee in Islamabad, chaired by Maulana Azad, to determine the beginning of Zilhaj 1446 Hijri. Simultaneously, zonal committees held meetings at their respective offices for the same purpose.
Eid ul Azha, observed on the 10th of Zilhaj, honors the tradition of sacrifice and coincides with the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Prior to this official announcement, the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) had also forecasted that Eid would likely be observed on June 7.
