Seeing the Shawwal Crescent Alone: Is It Permissible to Break the Fast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Now, if a man sees the Shawwal crescent—the end of Ramadan—but no one else sees it except him alone.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : Is it obligatory for him to break the fast, or should he fast with the Muslims?

The Shaykh : He should fast with the Muslims and break the fast with them. A personal sighting that has not been established according to the Shari'ah has no value or significance.
