DO NOT BEGIN FASTING UNTIL THE CRESCENT IS SIGHTED
Ibn Umar (may ALLĀH be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet ﷺ said,
“Do not fast unless you see the crescent (of Ramadān), 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).”
In another narration, the Prophet ﷺ said, “If the sky is cloudy for you, then complete the term as thirty days.”
{al-Bukhārī #1807, Muslim #1080}
It was (also) narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "We are an unlettered Ummah, we do not use astronomical counting or computation. The month is like this, and this, and this," he did three times, showing it as twenty-nine.
{An Nasā'i #2140}
