Can someone say "kiddush levana" by day if he sees the moon clearly, in full? Or is there a reason why we only say it in the evening other than the fact that the day starts at night.

You can't see a full moon during the day...– Double AA ♦Commented Feb 6, 2015 at 5:06

I just did....(mostly full)--if it was fully full it would be past the 15th anyway.– andrewmh20Commented May 31, 2015 at 1:53

The Rama rules that one can only recite Kiddush Levana "at night when the moon is shining and we benefit from its light" (OC 426:1).

I just note the vast majority of rishonim did not agree with this.– Double AA ♦Commented Aug 7, 2019 at 0:20

Does this mean one should wait until Tzet ha-kochavim, or is it enough to wait until sunset?– V. RogovCommented Mar 22, 2021 at 17:36

@V.Rogov It means you should wait until the moon is shining and you benefit from its light.– Double AA ♦Commented Apr 2 at 12:42
