(Book 18, Hadith 2) #35689
Calculating the New Moon for Fasting

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) instructed his followers to not start or break the fast until they see the new moon, and if it is obscured from them, then they should calculate when it should be.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abdullah ibn Dinar from Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A month has twenty-nine days in it. Do not start the fast or break it until you see the new moon. If the new moon is obscured from you, then work out (when it should be)".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الشَّهْرُ تِسْعٌ وَعِشْرُونَ فَلاَ تَصُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوُا الْهِلاَلَ وَلاَ تُفْطِرُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدُرُوا لَهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught his followers that a month has twenty-nine days in it. He instructed them to not start or break their fast until they see the new moon. If for some reason the new moon is obscured from them and they cannot see it, then he told them to calculate when it should be instead. This hadith teaches us that we must use our knowledge and wisdom to make decisions even if we are unable to physically observe something with our own eyes. It also teaches us about patience and perseverance as well as faith in Allah's plan for us all.
