Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Once again, we return to the questions of the brothers and sisters. He says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on fasting a day before Ramadan? Honorable Shaykh, if a person fasts this day, starting from the first day of Ramadan.

Answer:
No, if it is the night of the thirtieth and the crescent has not been seen, then it is the day of doubt, so one does not fast. One of the Companions said that the one who fasts
he has indeed disobeyed Abul Qasimاليوم الذي يشك فيه قد عصى أبا القاسم صلى الله عليه وسلم
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 204Sahih (Darussalam)
. It is not permissible to fast the thirtieth day if the crescent has not been seen. It is not permissible to fast it because it is a day of doubt. Yes.
