إِذَا شَهِدَ عِنْدَ الْإِمَامِ شَاهِدَانِ أَنَّهُمَا رَأَيَا الْهِلَالَ مُنْذُ ثَلَاثِينَ يَوْماً أَمَرَ الْإِمَامُ بِالْإِفْطَارِ وَ صَلَّى فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ إِذَا كَانَا شَهِدَا قَبْلَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ فَإِنْ شَهِدَا بَعْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ أَمَرَ الْإِمَامُ بِإِفْطَارِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَ أَخَّرَ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَى الْغَدِ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yusuf Bin Aqeel, from Muhammad Bin Qays, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When two witnesses testify in the presence of the Imam (Prayer leader) that they had both seen the crescent since thirty days, the Imam (Prayer leader) would instruct with the breaking of the Fast, and he would Pray during that day, if they had both testified before the (start of the) decline of the sun. So, if they had testified after the (start of the) decline of the sun, the Imam (Prayer leader) would instruct with the breaking of the Fast of that day, and delay the Prayer (of Al-Fitr) up to the morning, so he would Pray with them’.
