The ruling on fasting for one who travels from Egypt to Japan and the day is long for him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: I traveled from Egypt to Japan, and I was fasting during the day. I continued fasting for a day and a half because the night did not come upon me. What is the ruling?
The Shaykh:
From where to where?
The questioner:
From Egypt to Japan.
The Shaykh:
Yes, meaning from the west to the east.
The questioner:
Yes, he said he was fasting during the day and continued fasting for a day and a half because the night did not come upon him. What is the ruling?
The Shaykh:
The ruling is that as long as he sees the daylight, he does not break his fast. Even if the time becomes long, even if the time becomes long until he sees the sun set, he does not break his fast until the sun sets, even if the day becomes long for him due to the difference in regions or the difference, because he traveled from the west to the east. The daylight in the east precedes the daylight in the west, so perhaps the daylight passed him by, the daylight passed him by, the daylight of the east passed him by, because it did not catch up with him, and the night of the east came. Yes, it becomes night, it becomes the night of the east, it becomes the night of the east that passed him by, and the daylight of the east came to him. So he went from daylight to daylight, from the daylight of the west from which he flew to the daylight of the east to which he flew, and the daylight continued. So he remains fasting until the sun sets, even if the time becomes long for him. And if he wants to break his fast and considers himself a traveler, there is no harm if he breaks his fast because of the travel, for he has the option to break his fast because he is a traveler.
Yes, so he is between two things: either he breaks his fast because he is a traveler, which is a valid legal solution, or he continues in his fasting until the sun sets. Yes.
