Eidul Fitr to be celebrated in KP on Tuesday, provincial govt announces

[Mahmood-ur-Rehman]

The government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has declared Tuesday (tomorrow) as the first day of Eidul Fitr for the sake of "harmony", provincial Information Minister Shaukat Yousafzai announced.

He said more than 112 evidences of moon-sighting were received by Peshawar's Masjid Qasim Ali Khan — where Mufti Shahabuddin Popalzai had already declared that Eid would begin on Tuesday — and the KP government itself received moon-sighting testimonies from different areas.

"It is Chief Minister Mahmood Khan's desire that Eid is celebrated across the province on the same day and there should be an expression of unity with the entire province," Yousafzai said.

Eidul Fitr in the rest of Pakistan is expected to fall on Wednesday but is subject to moon-sighting.

The final date will be announced by the Ruet-i-Hilal committee when it convenes tomorrow.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have declared Tuesday as the first day of Eidul Fitr as well, according to Gulf News.

Indonesia and Malaysia will celebrate the first day of Eid on Wednesday while Iraq also declared Tuesday as the festival's first day, the publication added.

Eidul Fitr celebrations mark the culmination of the Holy month of Ramazan during which Muslims all over the world observe 30 days of fasting.

Are we missing something here ?

It will be a great fun if Mufti N. Rehman declares Eid on Thursday

This Eid issue has something to do with pashtun nationalism
They consider it as their toheen to celebrate Eid same day with inferior Punjabis

No it has nothing to do with Pashtun nationalism and more to do with Deobandi vs Barelvi sectarianism. This is coming from a Pashtun who has argued at length with his own kith and kin in KP over the issue.

Kash keh sari dunya k Musalman aik sath eid kersaktay.. Per aisa hoga aik din, or kia khob din hoga, per shayad main woh din daikhnay k liay dunya main na hon.

Pakistan is a federation and it should be declared illegal to celebrate eid in provinces on government level without federal government's agreement and announcement. Tomorrow all the government employees in kpk must be called on duty or lose one day pay in this month's salary.

As per Fiqh it the Islamic ruler responsibility and he will be questioned about it by Allah, so ordinary people have no right to announce Eid on their own, Pakistan is federation and Federal Government has right to declare Eid dates even as per Fiqh of Islam.

I am all in favour of such a legislation. To put this issue to bed once and for all.

I have discussed the matter with Mufti Hazrat, all of them were clear that it's responsibility of the Islamic ruler / Government and they will be held responsible by Allah for any mischief.

On what agenda PTI is in KPK first they made PTM and now separating whole KPK from rest of the country

I have feeling this kp cm isn't in control of Imran Khan
Imran Khan didn't appointed him willingly but was blackmailed by Pervez Khatak to appoint this person as cm
Imran Khan wanted to appoint Atif Khan as cm kpk

Um not really there has always been disagreement on eid even within kpk just go to Hazara,areas of Peshawar and Di Khan and see people fasting
Though it does leaves us in a confused state Fawad Chaudhry touting his qmaei calendar and his own government rejecting it

90% chance your neighb is afghani .. And yes this entire thing become joke.. According to new calendar from Fawad Chodaray , there are zero chance of any moon today...… but...……..

Relatives in Haripur still fasting

Eid Mubark to KPK brothers and sisters

Not in Hazara Division,Waziristan and DI khan

If I am not wrong they received these moon sighting evidences through mobile phones
if they can use technology to receive evidences of moon sighting
than why technology can't be used to see moon

Agreed. It is. Problem is that until there is strong legislation (with severe punishment for violators), such people will still exploit the system. We should bring strong legislation with punishment for violators. Declaration of Eid/Ramzan is the solely the purview of the state.
