Fasting by a resident in a country where the announcement of Ramadan differs from that of his home country
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Your Excellency the Shaykh, says: I am from an Arab country and reside in Saudi Arabia. It happens that the start of Ramadan is announced in my country before it is announced in Saudi Arabia, and the festival is announced before it is announced in Saudi Arabia as well. If I begin fasting in Saudi Arabia and leave for my country before the festival, I will have fasted only twenty-eight days. What is the ruling?
Answer:
Your ruling is the ruling of the country you went to. If they break the fast, you break the fast with them, even if the days are incomplete; you make up the missing days after the festival. You do not fast while they are breaking the fast. Likewise, you fast with them even if the days are more; you fast with them. The saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is: "Your fasting is the day you fast, and your sacrifice is the day you sacrifice." You do not differ from the Muslims you went to; your ruling is their ruling regarding breaking the fast, and your ruling is the ruling of the country you came from regarding the start of fasting. Yes. This.
