When does a traveler from one country to another break his fast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is his second question. He says: I am fasting in Saudi Arabia and I have returned to my country. Do I break my fast with them?

Answer:
Your ruling is the ruling of the country you are in at the end of the month. If the people break their fast, you break your fast with them. If they fast, you fast with them. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him)
('Eid) al-Fitr is the day on which the people break the fastصلى الله عليه وسلم الفطر يوم يفطر الناس، والصوم يوم يصوم الناس
Bulugh al-Maram 2:410
, so do not oppose the people. If the days are short, you make up one day if they break their fast before you have completed the month. If they break their fast before you have completed it, you break your fast with them, and you make up the day that was short for you.
