Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a person wants to travel by plane, and the sun sets while he is fasting, so he breaks his fast, and then the plane takes off toward the west and he sees the sun.
Answer:
The ruling for the people of the earth applies as long as he has not taken to the air and he breaks his fast with the people while he is on the ground; this is sufficient for him, and his ruling is that of the people of the earth. However, if he takes off before sunset, he does not break his fast until the sun sets, because he sees it. Yes.
