Seeing the new moon at sunset

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And how is it possible if it is made in the country, whether it is adjacent or not?

Answer:
The new moon appears at sunset because it is close to the sun; it has emerged from the new moon phase (mihqaq). It cannot be seen except by people of experience and knowledge, and those who have strong eyesight; they are the ones who see it, meaning at sunset. It may also appear a little after that. Yes.
