Asalaamu alikum my Brothers and Sisters!
My you all have a blessed Ramadan, and all our prayers and deeds and fasting be accepted in sha Allah.
How can you start to fast before the moon is seen? It was not seen until the 26th, making the 27th of October the first day of Ramadan 1424. We must go by the moonsighting. It was seen in America on the 26th, so it would be the same for Australia, Africa and Americas.
Go to this website it goes into great detail about the sighting of the moon.
