The Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) has officially announced new school timings for educational institutions in Islamabad during the holy month of Ramadan in 2025. These revised timings will be in effect from the first day of Ramadan and will continue until the end of the month, after which schools will return to their regular schedules.
According to the updated schedule, schools operating on a double-shift basis will run from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, classes will continue until 12:00 pm. Evening shift schools will function from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm, while single-shift schools will also operate from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Meanwhile, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee is set to meet in Peshawar today to officially determine the sighting of the Ramadan moon. Chaired by Maulana Abdul Khabeer Azad, the meeting will begin at 6:30 pm after the Asr prayer. Zonal committees across the country will also convene to assess moon sighting reports, with religious scholars from different schools of thought participating in the central session.
However, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has indicated that there is a low chance of sighting the Ramadan moon today due to cloudy weather conditions in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, including Peshawar. The PMD forecasts partly cloudy conditions over the next 24 hours, which may affect visibility.
