Question:
Honorable Shaykh, we have received several questions, especially from those who traveled for treatment or study. One of them says: Those in distant lands fast for more than twenty hours. How do they deal with fasting, and likewise with prayer?
Answer:
They pray the prayer at its times. Five prayers in the day and night at their prescribed times. There are Islamic centers and Islamic communities there; they ask them about how to fast and how to break the fast. The answer is: Fast, even if the day is long. But if thirst or hunger overtakes him and he fears for his life, he breaks his fast and eats what sustains his strength, then abstains for the rest of the day and makes up this day after Ramadan on another day. Yes.
