Zul-Hajj Moon Sighted in Saudi Arabia

News Desk 

Islamabad: The Saudi Supreme Court has announced that the Zul-Hajj Moon has been sighted in Saudi Arabia.

According to the Arab website Gulf News, the Saudi Supreme Court has announced that the moon of Dhul-Hijjah has been sighted in Saudi Arabia. 

Consequently, the Day of Arafah will be observed on Saturday, June 15, and Eid al-Adha will be celebrated on Sunday, June 16.

In contrast, Arab media reports indicate that the moon of Dhul-Hijjah was not sighted in the Sultanate of Oman. 

As a result, the 1st of Dhul-Hijjah will fall on June 8, with Eid-ul-Adha being celebrated on Monday, June 17.

These differing moon sighting reports lead to varying dates for the Islamic festival across the region.
