English translation

1906. Narrated ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ mentioned Ramaḍān and said, “Do not observe fasting unless you see the crescent-moon (of Ramaḍān), and do not give up fasting till (1) (Ch.11) The doubtful day is the day that is not certainly the first of Ramaḍān, but perhaps the last of Sha'bān, the preceding month. you see the crescent-moon of (Shawwāl), but if the sky is overcast and you can't see the moon, then act on estimation (i.e., count Sha'bān as 30 days and Ramaḍān also as 30 days)."

1906 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ: «لاَ تَصُومُوا حَتَّى تَرَوُا الْهِلَالَ، وَلاَ تُفْطِرُوا حَتَّى تَرَوْهُ، فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدُرُوا لَهُ»
