Question:
Also, it is easy to say that a lot of talk has been going on these days about the issue of the birth of the crescent and that it cannot be seen except after its birth.
Answer:
It is the son of Adam or an animal that is born, but the crescent is not born. This is empty talk. As for the crescent, praise be to Allah, Allah commanded us to fast when we see it and to break our fast when we see it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 3:154 one day. So fasting is based on the sighting, and the birth? What is the birth? All of this is nonsense with no basis. Yes.

Fast when you see it, and break your fast when you see it. If it is obscured from you, then estimate for it. In another narration: Complete the count of Sha'ban as thirty days.
صُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدُرُوا له، وفي رواية أكملوا عدة شعبان ثلاثين
