Fasting of the traveler with the people of his country when the number of days differs

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh. A questioner says: If I am traveling to an Arab country and Ramadan arrives while I am here, I fast with you here, but the people in my country fasted one day later. Then I traveled to my country before the end of the month, and the people in my country completed the month at thirty days, while I would have fasted thirty-one days. Do I fast with them, or do I break my fast in secret?

Answer:
Yes, you fast with them. Your ruling is the same as theirs, and you do not deviate from them. You fast with the Muslims in the country where you are, and you do not break your fast while they are fasting. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
