Karachi: Following the Zil Hajj moon controversy, Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman has said that Fawad Chaudhry is portraying himself as an expert of science.

While strongly reacting to the statement of Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry, Mufti Muneeb said that it was first-day moon according to both science and religion.

“Which book of science determines the lunar date by the size of crescent? Fawad Chaudhry is portraying himself as an expert of science which is his ignorance,” he said.

Mufti Muneeb further said that his only work is to mock the religion.

Earlier on Wednesday, Fawad Chaudhry posted a picture of moon on Twitter and wrote,

“Is this the first-day moon? Does the moon stay in the sky for so long after the sun sets? Let the people decide for themselves.”

Several other people also posted the picture of moon calling it a second day of crescent.
