Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We have another call. Hello, peace be upon you. Yes. Hello, peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. Shaykh Muhammad? Yes, peace be upon you. Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy. I am a long-time employee of one of the government departments, and the administration nominated me for a temporary assignment outside the Kingdom in the United States of America, for a period of about fifty days. Your Eminence the Shaykh, I ask you: Is there a dispensation for breaking the fast in America, or not?
The Shaykh : There is a dispensation.
The questioner : I mean, if I do not fast the month, and when I return I fast it completely here.
The Shaykh : There is no blame on you.
The questioner : There is no blame on him. For your information, I am going on my own; my family cannot go with me because they have schools here.
The Shaykh : Fine, there is no objection. I say there is no objection, but take care of yourself.
The questioner : If Allah wills, if Allah wills. Allah is the Preserver.
The Shaykh : May Allah keep you safe.
The Shaykh : There is a dispensation.
