Pakistan Local Moon Sighting Hijri Calendar

Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Pakistan (رویتِ ہلال کمیٹی پاکستان)

The Hijri calendar for Pakistan is issued by the official moon sighting authority, following the Rukyat methodology.

Criteria: The beginning of each Hijri month is determined by confirmed naked-eye or optical moon sighting after sunset.

This methodology requires an actual observation of the crescent moon (rukyat hilal) and does not rely solely on astronomical calculations.
