Question:
The questioner asks: Is the astronomical calculation considered in the sighting of the crescent moon?
Answer:
No. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fast when you see it, and break your fast when you see it. If it is hidden from you, then complete the count." In another narration: "Complete the count of Sha'ban as thirty days." Therefore, it is not permissible to rely on the calculation for the entry of the month of Ramadan. Yes.
