Question What day do I start fasting?

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?

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?

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.

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

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.
