Salam. Since I live in the US, the Holy Month of Ramadan started on March 1, so there is no confusion about how many days have been fasting. 

Ramadan 1 = March 1 = Beginning of the Holy Month of Ramadan 2025

When should you look for the crescent moon? Ramadan 29 = March 29. If you don't see the moon that night, then fast Ramadan 30 = March 30. 

[Hameedeh]

In the US and Canada, tomorrow is Ramadan 15, the birthday of Imam Hassan Ibn Ali Al-Mujtaba AS. Salawat. Congratulations and Best Wishes.

Imam Hasan (عليه السلام), a brief look into his Life.
