The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee on Thursday announced that the holy month of Ramazan would begin from Saturday, 25th April this year as the moon had not been sighted in Pakistan. However, the crescent for the holy month has been sighted in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Bahrain, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Indian state of Karnataka and fasting will begin there from Friday.
Despite the problems enveloping the world due to the coronavirus pandemic, many Pakistani celebrities as well as international stars wished fans on the onset of the holy month and asked everyone to pray and stay safe in their homes.
