On Sunday, the Sharif-led coalition government approved a five-day public holiday from July 8 to July 12 (Friday to Tuesday).
Eidul Adha will be celebrated on July 10 as the Zilhaj moon was not sighted, the country’s moon-sighting committee announced last month.
The Feast of Sacrifice is one of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son to God. Muslims slaughter animals to mark the occasion while the meat is shared with family members and the poor.
