Question:
This questioner says: I am one of the students sent abroad, and the time is long for us, as is the fasting. Is it permissible for us to fast according to the time of one of the Islamic countries, or according to the time of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?
Answer:
No, my brother. If there is night and day within twenty-four hours, and night and day come, it is obligatory to fast during the day and break the fast at night, even if the fasting is long for you. You must be patient in that. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
