Question:
A passenger on an airplane, Shaykh Salih, do airplane passengers break their fast while they see the sun, and they know through the clock and the phone about the breaking of the fast in the nearby country?
Answer:
No, they do not break their fast until the sun sets, unless the sun had already set while they were on the ground at the airport, in which case they break their fast on the ground. And if they take off and see the sun, they do not fast, but rather they have already broken their fast on the ground and they continue with their breaking of the fast. As for if they were originally on the airplane and see the sun, they do not break their fast until the sun sets. Yes.
