Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, I want to ask you about last year. People thought they fasted twenty-eight days, yes? And they asked some of the scholars about this, yes? So they said: It is obligatory for you to fast a day after the festival, yes? So the questions about this issue have multiplied these days, yes? So we want a comprehensive answer.
The Shaykh : They became twenty-eight days.
The questioner : That is what they claim.
The Shaykh : If they became twenty-eight days, then they must make up one day.
The questioner : Okay, what is the reality, Shaykh? How? What is the reality? How many days did we have last year?
The Shaykh : If you are not speaking for us, we here in Jordan, we had twenty-nine days.
The questioner : No, the question is about us here in Jordan, and they claimed.
The Shaykh : A year of twenty-eight, a year of twenty-nine.
The questioner : Twenty-nine, if their claim is wrong.
The Shaykh : Of course it is wrong. The ones who fasted first were in Saudi Arabia, then here there is a Shaykh called Dr. Abbas, I do not know what is the full name of Abbas.
The questioner : Fadhil Hasan Abbas.
The Shaykh : Al-Tahira.
The questioner : Yes, well known.
The Shaykh : They were ordered to fast according to the fasting of Saudi Arabia and break their fast according to the breaking of the fast of Saudi Arabia, so these people must fast the day of the Jordanian nation. Here we fasted twenty-nine.
The questioner : So he owes no fasting.
The Shaykh : The accuracy equals money. Money, of course.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
