Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the crescent is seen in the Kingdom, does that obligate the people of Yemen, Kuwait, and Bahrain to fast, or is it based on the difference in their moonrise times?

Answer:
It is based on the difference in moonrise times. It is based on the difference in moonrise times. If the moonrise is the same, they all fast together. If the moonrise times are different, each group follows their own sighting. Yes.
