The Time for Breaking the Fast for a Traveler on an Airplane
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: When I am traveling by airplane, the time for breaking the fast enters in the city I am traveling to, while the sun has not yet set in the city I departed from. What should I do?
Answer:
Breaking the fast is contingent upon the setting of the sun. So if you see the sun has set and the night has approached from the east, then you break your fast, whether you are on the ground or in the air, in the place where the sun sets for you. Do not wait until you reach the other country, even if the setting of the sun is delayed in the country you are heading toward. That does not concern you. You break your fast when the sun sets. Even if you reach the country before it sets for them, they have their ruling and you have your ruling. You broke your fast at the setting of the sun, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
