بَابُ ثُبُوتِ الشَّهْرِ بِرُؤْيَةِ الْهِلَالِ فِي الصَّوْمِ وَالْفِطْرِ أَوْ إِكْمَالِ الْعِدَّةِ ثَلَاثِينَ إِنْ كَانَChapter: Establishing the Month by Sighting the Crescent for Fasting and Breaking the Fast, or Completing Thirty Days if Necessary

عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَا تَقَدَّمُوا الشَّهْرَ حَتَّى تُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ أَوْ تَرَوْا الْهِلَالَ وَصُومُوا وَلَا تُفْطِرُوا حَتَّى تُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ أَوْ تَرَوْا الْهِلَالَ))
A companion narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not begin fasting before the month starts; rather, fast when the count of the previous month is completed or the new moon is sighted. Then continue fasting until the count of Ramadan is completed or the new moon is sighted.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The meaning of this hadith is that if the crescent moon is sighted on the 29th, then that is correct; otherwise, one should wait for the completion of 30 days.
