Do not precede the month of Ramaḍān by a day nor by two days.
Al-Bukhari (1914) and Muslim (1082) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“Do not anticipate Ramaḍān by fasting one or two days before it begins, but if a man habitually fasts*, then let him fast.”

Ramadan
Do not precede the month of Ramaḍān by a day nor by two days. Al-Bukhari (1914) and Muslim (1082) narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Do not anticipate…
Al-Nawawi said:
“The words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), “Do not anticipate Ramadan by fasting one or two days before it begins, but if a man habitually fasts, then let him fast,” clearly indicate that it is not allowed to anticipate Ramadan by fasting one or two days before it begins, for those who do not have a habitual pattern of fasting or who are not continuing to fast after starting to fast before (in the first half of Sha`ban). If one is not continuing to fast or does not have a regular pattern of fasting, then it is haram.”

Fasting the day of doubt
Al-Tirmidhi (686) and al-Nasai (2188) narrated that ‘Ammar ibn Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
“Whoever fasts on the day concerning which there is doubt has disobeyed Abu’l-Qasim (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).”
Al-Hafiz said in Fath al-Bari:
“It was understood from this that it is haram to fast the day of doubt, because the Companions would not say such a thing based on personal opinion.”
The day of doubt is the thirtieth of Shaban if the new moon cannot be seen because of clouds etc. It is called the day of doubt because it could be the thirtieth of Shaban, or it could be the first day of Ramadan. It is haram to fast on this day, unless it coincides with a day on which a person habitually fasts.
Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmu’ (6/400) concerning the ruling on fasting the day of doubt:
“If a person observes a voluntary fast on this day, and he has a reason for doing so, such as having the habit of fasting every day, or of fasting alternate days, or fasting on particular days such as Mondays, and it happens to coincide with that day, then it is permissible for him to fast on this day; there is no difference of opinion among our companions regarding that. The evidence for that is the hadith of Abu Hurayrah: “Do not anticipate Ramadan by fasting one or two days before it begins, but if a man habitually fasts, then let him fast.” If he does not have a reason, then it is haram for him to fast on this day.”

Can You Make up Missed Fasts on the Day of Doubt?
Yes, it is permissible to make up missed Ramadan fasts on the day of doubt and one or two days before Ramadan.
It was proven that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade fasting the day of doubt, and he forbade anticipating Ramadan by fasting one or two days before it begins, but this prohibition does not apply to a person who has a habitual pattern of fasting, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Do not anticipate Ramadan by fasting one or two days before it begins, but if a man habitually fasts, then let him fast.” (Narrated by al-Bukhari, 1914; Muslim, 1082)
So if a person is used to fasting on Mondays , for example, and that coincides with the last day of Sha’ban, then it is permissible for him to observe that as a voluntary fast and it is not forbidden for him to do so.
If it is permissible to observe a voluntary fast that one does regularly, then it is more appropriate that it should be permissible to make up a missed Ramadan fast, because that is obligatory, and because it is not permissible to delay making up missed fasts until after the following Ramadan.
Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmu’, 6/399:
“Our companions said: It is not correct to fast on the day of doubt when it is uncertain that Ramadan has begun, and there is no difference of scholarly opinion on this point… But if a person fasts it to make up for a missed fast , or in fulfillment of a vow, or as an act of expiation (kaffarah), then it is permissible, because if it is permissible to observe a voluntary fast on that day for one who has a reason to do so, then it is more appropriate that one should be allowed to observe an obligatory fast. This is like the time when it is forbidden to pray (when one may nevertheless offer a prayer for which there is a reason). And if a person still owes some missed Ramadan fasts, then he has to observe those fasts, because the time for making it up has become very short.”
And Allah knows best.

RAMADAN 1444
We asked Shaykh Ahmad (حفظه الله تعالى), with regards to the start of Ramadan and he’s informed us that the first night of Ramadan is Wednesday Night (March 22nd, 2023) night, and the first day of fasting is Thursday (March 23rd, 2023).
الهم اهله علينا بالخيرات والسلامة والاسلام واعنا فيه على الصيام والقيام وغض البصر وحفظ اللسان
وتقبله منا يا رحمان
O Allah bring this Month upon us with goodness, wellness, and complete submission to You, and aid us to fast and pray the night prayer, and to lower our gaze and preserve our tongues (from foul language and Gheebah), O Allah Accept it from us.

Alḥamdulillah, Thumma Alḥamdulillah for the great blessing of living to reach Ramaḍān – a blessing many in their graves desperately wish to have an opportunity at. A blessing many onlookers will regret they did not take advantage of.

'Umar Ibn Khattab's instructions for the first of Ramadan
It is reported that on the first night of Ramaḍān, ‘Umar – رضي الله عنه– would pray Maghrib, then say (to the people):
Sit down. Then he would give a small address:
Verily the fasting of this month has been made a duty upon you, and standing in night prayer has not been made a duty upon you, but those amongst you who can stand in prayer should do so, for it is from the extra good deeds about which الله told us: so whoever cannot stand in prayer, let him sleep on his bed.
And beware of saying: I will fast if so and so fasts and I will stand in night prayer if so and so stands in prayer. Whoever fasts or stands in night prayer, he must make this for الله. And you should know that you are in prayer as long as you are waiting for a prayer.
Minimize any vain or false speech in the houses of الله (mosques; he said this two or three times).
Let none of you fast a few days before the month (in order to avoid missing the beginning of the month; he said this three times).
And do not fast until you see [the crescent of the new month] unless it is overcast. If it is overcast, count [the previous month] as 30 days. Then do not break your fasts until you see the night upon the mountain (i.e. you are sure the sun has set).
