<p>This matter of the start of the lunar month depends in the verdict of the Marje' of Taqleed whom you follow. If your Marje' says that the month of Ramadan has started in your area by confirmed sighting the moon, you then start your fasting. Laylatul Qadr&nbsp;is calculated according to the confirmed sighting of the moon.</p> <p>Some Maraaje' say that sighting the moon in any other part of your hemisphere is enough for your area as far as you share the night with them.&nbsp;<br /> 'You need to follow the verdict of your Marje' of Taqleed.</p> <p>Wassalam.</p>
