Hyderabad: The Markazi Ruet-e-Hilal Committee (Moon Sighting Committee) is going to hold its monthly meeting at 6 p.m. on Sunday to decide the date of Eid-ul-Fitr in India based on the sighting of the crescent.
The meeting will be held under the supervision of Maulana Syed Qubool Pasha Quadri Shuttari, President of Majlis Ulama-e-Deccan on Sunday at Dabeerpura, Hyderabad.
All members of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee are requested to attend the meeting.
The committee also requested the people to contact them if they sight the crescent. Till 8 p.m., people can dial 24603597. After 8:00 pm, they can contact the committee on phone numbers, 24576832, 24513246, or 24521088.
The committee can also be contacted on cell phone numbers 9391964951, 9866112393, 9000008138 or 9885151354.
As the crescent was not sighted yesterday, the people of Saudi Arabia are observing the fast today. They will celebrate the Eid-ul-Fitr on Monday, May 2.
The UAE, Qatar, and other middle east countries will also celebrate the festival on Monday.
The date of Eid-ul-Fitr in India will be decided by various moon sighting committees based on the sighting of the crescent.
If it is sighted today, Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated tomorrow which is unlikely as usually, India celebrates the festival a day after it is observed in Saudi Arabia.
However, the date of Eid-ul-Fitr in India will be finalized in the evening.
