Chances of sighting the Dhul Hijjah crescent are strong across India, Pakistan and adjoining countries on Sunday, with astronomical conditions suggesting the moon could remain visible for nearly an hour after sunset.
Clear skies are forecast across most parts of India and Pakistan, further favouring a sighting. Accordingly, Wednesday, May 27, is likely to be observed as Eid-ul-Adha. While Saudi Arabia did not confirm a sighting yesterday, there remains a possibility that several countries including those in the Middle East and South Asia may celebrate together.
