Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Why do all Muslims not break their fast based on the sighting in another country, but rather they only break it when they see it in their own country?
Answer:
Because the moonrise times differ, for the moonrise times vary. Every group acts according to their own sighting. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said that the moonrise times differ by the consensus of the people of knowledge.
