Allah has conditioned breaking the fast and fasting upon seeing the new moon. If the new moon is not seen due to clouds or haze, this is the day of doubt. They fast at the end of the month, fasting until they complete it. As for the beginning of the month, the day of doubt is not fasted; the day of doubt is not fasted. Yes.
