Q
How should Muslims proceed if the sky is overcast and the crescent moon is not visible?
A
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) mentioned Ramadan and said, “Do not fast unless you see the crescent (of Ramadan),
and do not give up fasting till you see the crescent (of Shawwal), but if the sky is overcast (if you
cannot see it), then act on estimation (i.e. count Sha’ban as 30 days).
and do not give up fasting till you see the crescent (of Shawwal), but if the sky is overcast (if you
cannot see it), then act on estimation (i.e. count Sha’ban as 30 days).
