The Ruling on Breaking the Fast for the Garrison

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Please, Muhammad from Khamis Mushayt. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. And upon you be peace. May Allah give you a good evening. May Allah give you a good evening. Shaykh, how are you, may you live long? Well, thank Allah, yes. May you live long, Ramadan has arrived and I am stationed on the southern border, and we have, may you live long, very hard work. When Ramadan started, I had intended, a day before Ramadan, while I was on duty, to fast if Ramadan began. But I saw the weather, may you live long, may Allah reward you, even the dust and the heat, and so when Ramadan came, we decided not to fast. I mean, at the start of Ramadan, I intended not to fast because of the weather I am in, and the heat does not end. One of us fasted, may you live long, until eleven or twelve o'clock and could not bear it. Thank you. So I do not know the permissibility of that, and how is it, Shaykh, may you live long?

Answer:
What I know is that you have guides and preachers, so you should ask them. But if the situation is as you described, and fasting is difficult for you in the state of surveillance and guarding your locations and the country, and you cannot fast while guarding, then you break your fast and make up the days you missed on other days. Yes.
