The Islamic month of Shaban is anticipated to begin in Pakistan on the evening of February 17, depending on the sighting of the moon, local media reported.
According to astronomical calculations, the full moon is likely to be visible in most regions of the country on that date.
Shaban is the eighth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and holds significant importance for Muslims, as it precedes the holy month of Ramazan.
Authorities would announce the official start of Shaban after the moon sighting, with religious leaders and organizations closely monitoring the lunar cycle.
