Dhul Hijjah is the final month of the Islamic calendar, and its start depends on the moon sighting. The crescent moon is expected to be looked for on May 27. If spotted, the month will begin on May 28; otherwise, it will start on May 29.
This means Arafah Day — the holiest day in Islam — will fall on either June 5 (Thursday) or June 6 (Friday). Eid Al Adha will be observed the following day, as per tradition.
