Assalam Wa Aalaikum,

Can someone please confirm if ramadan is on august 1 in USA? I see on internet that Fiqh Council of America has confirmed, but they do not seem to rely on actual sighting of moon.

This is my first ramadan here in US, and i'm confused as to what to do?
So can anyone please confirm what is the standard source to look, if I want to know about the starting date of Ramadan in US?

Jazak Allah,
Saad Qureshi

According to Chicago Hilal Committee, Ramadhan moon is sighted in Trinidad. Therefore, the first of Ramadhan will be on August 1, 2011
