Seeking the New Moon of Muharram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the new moon of Muharram, Honorable Shaykh Salih, should we seek it out so that we know the tenth day?

Answer:
No, the new moon is only sought out for the month of Ramadan, because fasting on the tenth day is not obligatory, so there is no need to seek out the new moon.
