Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee announces Eid Milad-un-Nabi on August 26 after no moon sighting
Most outlets reported that the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee declared the Rabi-ul-Awwal moon was not sighted in Pakistan, leading to Eid Milad-un-Nabi being observed on August 26. The majority led with the date of the Eid and the absence of a moon sighting. A few, like 24 News HD and The Nation, also specified that the first day of Rabi-ul-Awwal would be August 15. ProPakistani included a brief note about the holiday date being confirmed, while others like Geo News and Dunya News included the name of the committee chairman, Maulana Abdul Khabir Azad, in their reporting. Overall, the framing remained consistent across outlets, with slight variation in the level of detail provided about the start of the Islamic month.
