KARACHI (92 News) – The Ramazan moon has not been sighted and hence the faithful will observe the first fast on Sunday.

It was announced by Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman Mufti Muneebur Rahman on Friday.

He said that the decision has been made with consensus as they had not received evidence of moon-sighting from any area of the country. “For this reason, the first Ramazan will be on May 28,” he said.

He said that the first Ramazan moon will be big in size and will be visible for more time. “According to the Shariah, it will be the moon of the first Ramazan,” he added.
