WTH is wrong with you guys ? If there are Sahadats then what more you people want ?
Aisha said “The messenger was more concerned about determining the beginning of shaban than other months. He would then fast at the sighting of the crescent of Ramadan. If it were obscure, he would count 30days of shaban and then fast”
(Sunan Abu Dawud and Musnad Ahmad, Imam al-hakim, at-dhahabi, Albani declare this Sahih hadith)
Abu hurayrah reported that the Messenger said “Start counting for Ramadan from the crescent of Shaban”
(Sunan At-Tirmidhi and Mustadrak Al-Hakim, Imam Albani declares this Sahih hadith)
-One or Two witness needed to establish the sighting
The ulema agree that two trustworthy witness are sufficient to establish a crescent sighting
Abdur-rahman bin zayd bin Al-Khattab said that a number of Sahaba reported that the Messenger said “Fast when you can see it, break your fast when you can see it and keep the day count for sighting. If it is obscure to you then complete thirty days and if just two Muslims witnesses testify that they saw it then fast or break your fast.
(Musnad Ahmad, Sunan Nasai, Sunan Daraqutni, Imam Albani declares this Sahih hadith)
