KARACHI: As Pakistanis purchase sacrifice animals in anticipation of Eid ul Adha, an official said on Tuesday that the Zil Hajj moon would be born on June 6.
According to Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz, the new moon will arrive at precisely 5:38 p.m. on Geo News, signaling the start of the new Islamic month.
He continued, “There is a good chance that the moon will be seen on June 7 because it will have been visible for more than 26 hours by then.”
Zil Hajj, the month when Muslims travel to Saudi Arabia to conduct Hajj, marks the end of the Islamic lunar calendar.
Muslims throughout commemorate Eid ul Adha by offering animal sacrifices in their home nations.
Markets for cattle
Cattle markets have been set up in several locations so that people can buy cows, goats, lambs, or camels to sacrifice in honor of Eid ul Adha, which is quickly approaching.
The Taiser Town facility near Northern Bypass is run by the Karachi livestock market management.
ATMs and makeshift branches of large banks have also been established so that individuals may conveniently take out cash when they buy an animal to be sacrificed.
According to the notification for the cattle market’s formation, traders would now have more amenities, such as free space for cow sheds and a free 30-liter supply of water per person.
In the meanwhile, an inspection will be conducted to guarantee the continued health of the sacrificed animals.
