On the night of the thirtieth of Sha'ban we went out to sight the
crescent, but the weather was cloudy so we could not see it. Should we
fast the thirtieth day of Sha'baan, because it is a day concerning
which there is some doubt?.
Praise be to Allaah.
This is what is called the "day of doubt", because there is doubt
concerning it – is it the last day of Sha'baan or the first day of
Ramadaan? Fasting on this day is haraam because the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "Fast when you see the new moon
and break your fast when you see the new moon, and if you are not
sure, then complete the number of Sha'baan as thirty days." (Narrated
by al-Bukhaari, 1909).
'Ammaar ibn Yaasir said: "Whoever fasts on the day concerning which
there is doubt has disobeyed Abu'l-Qaasim (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him)." Thiswas narrated by al-Tirmidhi and classed as
saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 553.
Al-Haafiz ibn Hajar said: "It was understood from this that it is
haraam to fast the day of doubt, because the Sahaabah would not say
such a thing based on personal opinion, so a report such as this has
the same status as a marfoo' hadeeth.
The scholars of the Standing Committee said concerning the day of
doubt, "The Sunnah indicates that it is haraamto fast this day."
(Fataawaal-Lajnah, 10/117)
Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said,
after mentioning the difference of opinion concerning the ruling on
fasting the day of doubt: "The most correct of theseviews is that it
is haraam, but if it is proven to the ruler that it is obligatory to
fast this day and he commands the people to fast, then no one should
go against his opinion, and that means that no one should show that he
is not fasting on that day, rather a person (who has a different
opinion) may not fast, but he should do so secretly."
Al-Sharh al-Mumti', 6/318.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
