Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Many writers have appeared in the newspapers speaking about the hilal of Ramadan and that there was an error in the sighting. What is the advice for these people? These people

Answer:
do not accept advice, but you should not pay attention to their words. The Muslims are on the right path and upon the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Fast upon its sighting, and break your fast upon its sighting. If it is cloudy for you, then complete the count of the month as thirty days. This is the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). We, if Allah wills, hold fast to it. As for these people, they say this and that, and we do not pay attention to their statements. Yes.
