Bazlul Haque Haroon, the chief of the parliamentary standing committee on religious affairs ministry, announced the date after a meeting of the National Moon-Sighting Committee at the Islamic Foundation in the evening. Haroon said Zil-Hajj will start on Sunday as the Moon-Sighting Committee received no report of the moon being sighted anywhere in Bangladesh. So, the Eid will be celebrated on Sep 13, the 10th of Zil-Hajj, marking the end of Hajj pilgrimage. In Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries, the Eid-ul-Azha will be celebrated on Sep 12. The Hajj rituals will start on Sep 11.
