Question:
Honorable Shaykh! This questioner says: Does a passenger on an airplane break his fast while he sees the sun, and he knows through the clock and the phone about the iftar of the country near him?
Answer:
No, as long as he is in the air and sees the sun, he does not break his fast until the sun sets for him. However, if he broke his fast while on the ground, the sun set while he was on the ground and he broke his fast, and then the airplane took off and he saw the sun, he remains on his iftar on the ground; he does not fast a second time, but he is considered to have broken his fast, because his ruling is the ruling of the people of the ground. Yes.
