Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the time at which a fasting person breaks his fast if his plane takes off from Riyadh to Cairo, for example, one hour or half an hour before Maghrib?
Answer:
If it takes off before sunset, he remains fasting until the sun sets, whether the sun sets while he is on the plane, or he lands in a country where the sun has already set. As for if he breaks his fast in the country, the sun has set in the country and he breaks his fast, then he boards the plane and it ascends with him, that does not harm him; he completes his fast and it does not harm him.
