Wa'Alaikum As Salaam
May Allah SWT bless this ummah, unite us and accept all ibaadaat during this blessed monh.
Well, the first taraaweeyah salah was yesterday and I am fasting today due to the moon being sighted not only in the Middle East but also Europe and the UK yesterday.
There are some masajid who are fasting tomorrow even though the "TV Channels" they ascribe to announced the first fast was today. But for some reason they ignored to follow. I don't know why exactly, maybe due to stubborness.
Muslimah, Egypt announced yesterday 22nd Sept that Ramadaan starts on Sunday 24th. On what basis does ramadaan start on Sunday and not Today?
In the hadith collected by Imam Ahmed in his Musnad:
"The knots of Islam will be untied one after another. The first of these knots (to be untied) will be the Ruling and the last will be the salah."
