Eid ul Adha 2027 date in Pakistan
Eid ul Adha 2027 in Pakistan is expected to fall around Monday, 17 May 2027, corresponding to 10 Dhul Hijjah 1448 AH. This is a prediction only and remains subject to the official moon sighting.
How the date is determined
In Pakistan, the date is set by the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee (CRHC), which meets to sight the Dhul Hijjah crescent moon. The committee is expected to convene around the evening of 29 Dhul Qadah 1448 AH to make its determination.
Until the CRHC announces a confirmed sighting, all 2027 dates should be treated as estimates that may shift by a day in either direction.
How is Eid ul Adha celebrated in Pakistan?
For Pakistanis, the day of Eid ul Adha begins with congregational morning prayers at mosques and prayer grounds. The Eid prayer is typically performed shortly after sunrise.
The main observance is the symbolic reenactment of Ibrahim’s obedience through the Qurbani, the sacrifice of a goat, sheep, cow, or camel. The meat from the sacrificed animal is traditionally divided into three parts:
- One-third for the family
- One-third for relatives and neighbours
- One-third for the poor and needy
Beyond the prayers and the sacrifice, Eid is a time for food, family, and gift-giving across Pakistan. Common customs include:
- Festive food: Sheer khurma, a sweet dish of milk, vermicelli, and dry fruits, is a celebration highlight.
- New clothes: Men, women, and children dress in new, festive attire to mark the occasion.
- Visiting loved ones: Families and friends gather to share meals and exchange presents.
- Eidi: Children receive gift money from their elders, adding to the festive spirit.
