Subject:	proof of sighting the moon
Question:	What is the proof of sighting the moon?
Answer:	The evidence could be one or more of the following: 1. You have sighted it yourself. 2. The testimony of two men of impeccable character, provided that you do not have any knowledge of instances that they may be wrong, and that you do not dispute their testimony. 3. The lapse of thirty days on the month of Shaban, thus reaching certitude that Shaban has come to an end and that Ramadhan shall commence. 4. When the news of the birth of the moon of Ramadhan becomes commonplace that you are sure of the sighting.
