What is the ruling on one who fasts in a country, then travels to another country where the sighting of the crescent moon differs? Does he follow the country he is in?

The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah.

The questioner : Program host, the question is about the difference between countries in sighting the crescent moon. I started fasting Ramadan in the Kingdom, and I will travel at the end of Ramadan to another country that does not rely on the sighting of the crescent moon but relies on astronomical calculations. Do I fast and break my fast with the Kingdom, or with the country I am in?

The Shaykh : No, not with the country you are traveling to.

The questioner : May Allah keep you safe. I intended to travel, but I started traveling at night, and my journey continues until after Fajr. Is it permissible for me to break my fast on this day?

The Shaykh : And you traveled at night. Huh?

The questioner : I set out at night.

The Shaykh : I am telling you, you are a traveler at night. Fine, if you do not fast on the following day, there is no harm.
