Eid al-Adha 2023 Moon Sighting Update- Check Here
Eidul Adha, the second of the major Islamic festivals, is being celebrated by Muslims across the globe on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah. Muslims traditionally slaughter animals as a symbolic act of sacrifice.
The meat of animals is then divided into family members, friends and neighbours, and among poor and needy as it is time for prayer, reflection, and spending time with family and friends.

Eid al-Adha 2023 In India ,Pakistan and Other Asian Countries?
The date for Eid al-Adha is subject to sighting the new moon of Dhul-Hijjah, the twelfth and final month of the Islamic calendar. The crescent moon is forecast to arrive on Thursday, June 19, 2023. If the moon is sighted, that will be the first day of Dhul-Hijjah.
Eid al-Adha always takes place on the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah. So counting 10 days from the expected start of the lunar month, this year, Eid al-Adha will take place on June 29, 2023 of the Gregorian calendar.
Meanwhile, the International Astronomy Center (IAC) has announced that Eid Al Adha is most likely to fall on Wednesday, June 28, 2023.
The announcement comes as countries across the Islamic world are preparing to observe the holy festival.
Most Islamic nations will attempt to sight the crescent moon of Dhu Al Hijja on Sunday, June 18, 2023, which corresponds to the 29th of Dhu Al Qa’da 1444 AH according to the Islamic calendar.

However, the International Astronomy Center has stated that on this particular day, the crescent will be extremely difficult to see with a telescope from the center and west of the Islamic world.
As a result, it is expected that Monday, June 19 will be declared as the first day of the month of Dhu Al Hijja in many countries. Consequently, Tuesday, June 27 is predicted to be the Day of Arafah, with Wednesday, June 28 being the first day of Eid Al Adha.
