The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee has announced the moon of Dhul Hijjah has not been sighted in any part of the Pakistan today (Wednesday) therefore Eid al-Adha will most-likely be celebrated on July 10, 2022 (Sunday).
The committee met at the Met Department’s office, Karachi on Wednesday evening to sight the moon of Dhul Hijjah 1443 AH.
Maulana Muhammad Abdul Khabir Azad, chairman of the moon-sighting body, presided over the meeting. The committee comprises officials from the Met department, Suparco, Navy and religious affairs ministry.
The provincial and district Ruet-e-Hilal committees also held meetings at their respective headquarters simultaneously.
However, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) earlier predicted that there was no chance of the Dhul Hijjah moon sighting on the evening of 29 June, i.e. 29th of Dhul Qa’da, 1443 AH.
When is 1st Dhul Hijjah in Pakistan?

This year Eid al-Adha will most likely to fall on Sunday, June 10 (10th Dhul Hijjah)
