Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If I am in a country where the moon was sighted, and then I go to my country, and they have their own sighting or local calculation after the sighting in the country where I was, the question is: how do I break my fast, with the country where the sighting occurred or with my country where I arrived?
Answer:
No, with the country you arrived in. I said: your ruling is the ruling of the country you arrived in. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Ibn Majah 1660Sahih (Darussalam). Do not break your fast while the people are fasting? Take it with you. Your ruling is your ruling, and your ruling is not the ruling of the country you traveled from, but your ruling is the ruling of the country you arrived in, and do not contradict the people.

Fasting, fasting, you fast and you break your fast
صوم صوم تصومون وفطركمis the day when you break your fast and Al-Adha
يوم تفطرون والأضحى يوم
