ISLAMABAD – If you get Saturdays and Sundays off, this Eidul Fitar may be an extended break for you, depending on the Shawwal moon sighting.
When do Eidul Fitr 2025 holidays start?
Ramazan 2025 is expected to last 29 days, with Eidul-Fitr set to be marked on March 31 Monday, Astro experts said.
If these predictions come true, Pakistanis will mark Eidul Fitar for three days, from Monday to Wednesday. Since Saturday and Sunday are already holidays, this will provide a long weekend, giving people a total of five days off.
In case of 30-Day Ramazan
If Ramazan will be 30 days, Eid holidays could be extended by one more day. This would mean that government employees could enjoy up to six days of holidays for Eid ul-Fitr.
