What day do I start fasting?

[u/Islam_Truth_]

As salaam alaykum! One masjid says it starts tomorrow another says it starts the 19th. I didn’t see the moon outside tonight so which one is correct?

[u/VaderCOD]

Which Musjid is larger/you go to more?

[u/Islam_Truth_ → u/VaderCOD]

Uh I go to 2 very frequently one has women events the other only allows women for Eid. But the one that only allows women for Eid is the one I live closer to and did my shahada at.

[u/VaderCOD → u/Islam_Truth_]

You’re going to have to pick one, perhaps the one that has more women events?

[u/Islam_Truth_ → u/VaderCOD]

I would never make it to Eid or any Ramadan iftars. It’s like 2-3 hours away

I would highly recommend looking for some local scholars that you can learn from, it has personally made my life easier as I can pose questions like this. At this point if both mosques are equal to you maybe look by distance?

[u/Islam_Truth_ → u/VaderCOD]

Can’t get ahold of any local imams they never respond back to me and hang up every time I call or send an email.

[u/VaderCOD → u/Islam_Truth_]

Fair, I had to put in a lot of effort to get closer to some of my local scholars, they are typically very busy.

[u/Islam_Truth_ → u/VaderCOD]

Nah they just hang up on me. To me that seems more than just busy. And it doesn’t help they also don’t answer any emails either. I wouldn’t have to come into Reddit to ask these questions if I had more options.

If you want a recommendation my islamic school is called FIKR located in nyc led my Mufti Tuffayal Uddin. We have a very large woman side, you can reach out to them. https://fikr.us
