    From my understanding of this 2 185 there is no starting of ramadhan and no ending of ramadhan b'cos it refers to one person singular, ie the one witnessing the full moon should fast the next one day.
    For a person living in northern parts like alaska or northern norway etc their summer month has no setting of the sun so they would witness a full moon. So its not obligatory on them. You have to witness it yourself.
    Thats my understanding on 2 185 anyway submitter.
    Thanks for reading and responding.

          In that words 218517 falyasum'hu 'then he should fast' is 3rd person singular.... meaning the person witnessing the full moon should fast the next day only....

          Wait, so full moon? Not new moon?
          So if the weather is cloudy I skip Ramadan and that is ok?

            Hello jemby97.

            From MY understanding of
            "So whoever witnesses among you the full moon"
            refers to ALL the believers who witness it.

            As for the timing of ramadhan,
            there certainly is a starting and an ending of it.
            It starts when people witness the hot full moon (shahr ramadhan)
            and ends when the crescent appears after the last quarter.

            Duration of fasting is 10 days
            b'cos
            the change from the full moon to the first crescent
            takes 10 days.

            Full ----------- quarter -- waning crescent
            O ------------>D---------> )

              Some people think Ramadan is a month is because they are influenced by Hadith and Sunna . The true calendar should be lunar and solar not only lunar . The fabricated 'Muslim ' calendar was created years after prophet mohd dies . Therefore Ramadan is not the name of a month. I don't follow their silly calendar anymore and sorry will not follow their way of 1 mth fasting. Witnessing the crescent moon to fast 30 days are the practise of the Sabians and Hindus idolising the moon and incorporated by bukhari . I'll fast 2-3 days during winter solstice or as and when required for health purpose .

                3639
                And the moon We have measured it to appear in stages, until it
                returns like an old palm sheath.

                3639 does not say stages only but it says descending stages -.

                The phases descend from the full moon
                down to the very last crescent
                which looks like a curved old palm sheath

                O------------->D-----------------&gt (in south hemisphere)
                Full moon--->last quarter------last waning crescent

                  Full moon is not equal to hot moon.

                  You are right,
                  hot moon is not equal to ANY one of the other 11 or 12 moons of the IDDAH (&#1577.
                  The full phase of the hot moon is the first full moon after the summer solstice;
                  plus, it is the largest and reddest of them all.

                  Here are the times of its 9 appearances

                  2189
                  They ask you regarding the crescents, say ?They provide a timing
                  mechanism for the people and the Pilgrimage.? And piety is not
                  that you would enter a home from its back, but piety is whoever
                  is righteous and comes to the homes from their main doors. And
                  be aware of God that you may succeed.

                  And here we learn that the month begins with the first appearance of waxing crescent and not full moon.

                  I don't understand.

                  Did somebody say
                  the month begins with the appearance of full moon?
                  Who?

                  As for the crescents mentioned in 2189,
                  please remind yourself that they are not waxing
                  but WAINING crescents.

                  Proof

                  Even in today's practice pilgrimage begins on Dhul Hijjah 10,
                  which is nearly full moon
                  and there are only WAINING crescents after Dhul Hijjah 10.

                  In fact the ten-day period
                  should begin with the full moon of Shahr Dhul Hijjah
                  and end with the first waining crescent.

                  O-----------D-) (This is the crescent which provides a timing mechanism for the pilgrimage)
                  I---10 days--I

                  Probably
                  main doors of the homes stand for the full moons
                  and back doors crescents.

                  ... piety is whoever comes to the homes
                  from their main doors.

                  If it's merely solar or lunar and not both, we wouldn't know the timing of Ramadhan and we wouldn't know when the 1 extra lunar month is.

                  You don't need the lunar year or the luni-solar year or the solar year in order to know when the 1 extra lunar month is. The only thing you need is a lunar calendar like this https//www.timeanddate.com/calendar/?year=2011&country=74

                  Will you please study
                  the hot full moon times
                  I gave you.

                  In 2014 the hot full moon arrived 19 days later than the previous hot full moon, which shows that there was an extra lunar month in the previous iddah and that 1 extra moon delayed the arrival of the 2014 moon. I underlined it for you.

                  There are 2 more extra lunar months in the 10 iddahs, which you can easily spot and underline if you want.

                  If you don't believe calendars, you can look up at a hot full moon when it appears, note the time it appears and if it has appeared 19 days later than the previous one you can know that there was 1 extra lunar month in the previous iddah.

                      Peace brook, it's simple i.e. count only "12" full moons after summer solstice (drop 13th between solstices) in northern hemisphere and same after winter solstice southern hemisphere.

                      full moon summer solstice

                        Quran has a lunar-solar calender.
                        If it's merely solar or lunar and not both, we wouldn't know the timing of Ramadhan and we wouldn't know when the 1 extra lunar month is.

                        The first full moon AFTER June 21, the longest daytime of the year...
                        let's call it the hot full moon as it initiates the hellish (981) hot days.

                        Notice the arrival of the hot full moon of the year you are in.
                        If it arrives 19 days later than the previous one, you would know that the 1 extra lunar month is before it

                        6 is 19 days later than 5 because it was delayed by the 1 extra lunar month of June 20 BEFORE the longest daytime of the year.

                        shahr ramadan is...
                        July 09.

                        For muslim believers
                        fasting starts on the morning of July 10,
                        after they witness the hot full moon.

                        Whoever from among you witnesses that full moon shall, then, fast it.
