The ruling on one who sees the crescent of Shawwal but whose testimony is not accepted
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh Salih. If a Muslim sees the crescent of Shawwal with certainty, but his testimony is not accepted, does he break his fast or fast with the people?
Answer:
He fasts with the people and does not oppose them. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your fasting is the day you fast, and your sacrifice is the day you sacrifice." So the Muslim is with the Muslims and does not openly break his fast. Yes.
