Question : He was asked about a person who arrived in the Kingdom on the second day of Ramadan, and Ramadan did not begin in his country until this day. Does he have to make up the first day?
Answer : We cannot say that he must make up yesterday, because he was in a place where the beginning of the month was not established. However, it is looked into: if the month was completed here in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, then how many days did he fast? Twenty-nine, and the month ended for him. But if the month was not completed here, and Shawwal entered on the thirtieth day of Ramadan, then he must make up one day, because the month cannot be less than twenty-nine days.
