A NAS A WEEK - 12 SHA'ABAN 1433H

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar: Allah's Apostle salallahu 'alaihi wassalam mentioned Ramadan and said, "Do not fast unless you see the crescent (of Ramadhan), and do not give up fasting till you see the crescent (of Shawwal), but if the sky is overcast (if you cannot see it), then act on estimation (i.e. count Sha'ban as 30 days)." [Hadith from the translation of Sahih Bukhari, Book 31: Fasting,Volume 3, Hadith Number 130].
