As-Salaamu 'Alaykum, Bismillah, Imaam Ibn Balbaan (1) [d. 1083 AH] said: "...It is obligatory to fast Ramadhaan when the Moon (al-Hilal) is sighted..." Ibn Badraan (2) [d. 1346 AH] said in his footnotes of this sentence: "The Arabs use the word al-Hilaal to describe the Moon in its first, second and third nights. After that, it is called al-Qamar. [ Additionally, when the Moon is full, it is called al-Badr ]." (3) / (4) Quick Summary: The Moon goes through phases in Arabic: 1. al-Hilaal: first, second and third nights 2. al-Badr: the full moon 3. al-Qamar: after the first, second, and third nights And Allah knows best.
