Fasting During Ramadan

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) or Abul-Qasim instructed to start fasting on seeing the crescent of Ramadan and to end fasting on seeing the crescent of Shawwal, and if the sky is overcast, then complete thirty days of Sha'ban.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet or Abul-Qasim said, "Start fasting on seeing the crescent (of Ramadan), and give up fasting on seeing the crescent (of Shawwal), and if the sky is overcast (and you cannot see it), complete thirty days of Sha'ban".
حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ أَوْ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ ‏ "‏ صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ، فَإِنْ غُبِّيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا عِدَّةَ شَعْبَانَ ثَلاَثِينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when we see the crescent of Ramadan, we should begin our fast. We should continue our fast until we see the crescent of Shawwal. If it is cloudy and we cannot see either crescents, then we should complete thirty days in Sha’ban. This teaches us that it is important to be mindful about when to start and end our fast during Ramadan so that it can be done properly according to Islamic teachings. It also teaches us that even if there are obstacles in our way such as clouds blocking out view, then still have faith in Allah SWT and follow His instructions as best as possible.
