The latest development regarding the start of Ramadan 1447 AH in Pakistan indicates that the first day of fasting is likely to fall on February 19, 2026, following the anticipated sighting of the crescent moon on the evening of February 18. The Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) announced that the new moon is expected to be born on February 17 at 5:01 pm Pakistan Standard Time, and by sunset on February 18, the moon's age will be approximately 25 hours and 48 minutes, a duration considered highly favorable for visibility (Business Recorder, February 13, 2026). The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) corroborates this assessment, forecasting clear to partly cloudy skies across the country, which should aid in the moon sighting efforts (Pakistan Today, February 13, 2026). However, the official confirmation will be made by the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee after verifying testimonies from across the nation (ARY News, February 13, 2026).
