Pakistanis are eagerly awaiting Eidul Fitr 2025, as speculation grows over an extended holiday from March 29 to April 6. According to the Ruet-e-Hilal Research Council, the crescent moon is expected to be visible on March 30, making March 31 the likely date for Eid.
With the festival’s first three days aligning with a Monday to Wednesday schedule, reports suggest the government may declare official holidays from March 29 to April 2.
If additional leave is granted for Thursday and Friday, the break could stretch to an unprecedented nine-day holiday.
However, the final decision rests on the official moon sighting. If confirmed, this would be one of the longest Eid holidays in recent years, allowing families more time for celebration, travel, and festivities.
