The ruling on fasting the day of doubt if it is cloudy or overcast

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is better on the day of doubt if there is cloud or overcast? Is it breaking the fast or following the school of Imam Ahmad?

Answer:
No, it is obligatory to break the fast, based on the statement of 'Ammar that the one who fasts on the day of doubt has disobeyed this Qasim (peace and blessings be upon him). The statements of the scholars are to be taken from what agrees with the evidence, and what contradicts the evidence is to be left, even if it is a statement that is the apparent position of the school, which is the statement of Imam Ahmad, meaning the relied-upon position. The author only says the apparent position of the school, the apparent position of the school.
