The ruling on fasting for one who travels to a country where the sighting of the crescent moon differs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I was in a country where the crescent moon was sighted, and then I went to my country where they have their own sighting, or by astronomical calculation after the sighting in the country where I was, what is my ruling?
The Shaykh:
Regarding my country where I was when the sighting occurred.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
With the country I arrived in? No, not with the country I arrived in. I say your ruling is the ruling of the country you arrived in. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you not break your fast while the people are fasting? She said: The Muslims. I say: Fast with them. Your ruling is your ruling, and it is not the ruling of the country you traveled from, but your ruling is the ruling of the country you arrived in, and do not differ from the people.

Your people’s day of standing is the day you stand, and your day of breaking the fast is the day you break it, and the day of al-Adha is the day you slaughter.
قومكم يوم تقومون وذكركم يوم تفطرون والأضحى يوم توحش
