The Shaykh : The psychological reality that only you know, after the signs of the Unseen, so you broke your fast there. Why? Because you were traveling?
The questioner : I was traveling, and I tried to fast one day... it was all fasting, I couldn't manage it, and in breaking the fast I fasted...
The Shaykh : The rest of Ramadan. The important thing is that you broke your fast there. Tell me, was the fasting there before or after compared to here?
The questioner : Before.
The Shaykh : Before.
The questioner : One day.
The Shaykh : Here it was before the start. Here it was before.
The questioner : I don't know, but the end is the same.
The Shaykh : I am asking you here.
The questioner : I started from here.
The student : Think about the beginning of the month.
The questioner : The beginning of the month.
The student : Think about the beginning of the month. When the month started, was it before the month or not?
The Shaykh : That is what I am asking about.
The questioner : Yes, but I don't know that. I know the end.
The student : So, when he went there, he didn't ask how many days of Ramadan were left...
The Shaykh : Yes. Okay, do you know here how many days they fasted?
The questioner : Here they fasted one day less.
The Shaykh : No, for you it is not less or more. Here, did they fast twenty-nine or thirty days?
The questioner : We confirmed with us from here to there. Here it was the festival, and we were still on the last day of Ramadan.
The student : They fasted twenty-nine days.
The questioner : I don't know how many days here.
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, I must know how many days they fasted here?
The questioner : Twenty-nine days.
The Shaykh : He doesn't know how you will answer.
The questioner : The reality is, we fasted twenty-nine days, our Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Why do you know the year that has passed?
The questioner : The year is this.
The Shaykh : The year is this. So, you make up the fasts based on the month being twenty-nine days.
The questioner : My Shaykh, the estimate for him in the country where he was is that the days he broke his fast, which he was supposed to fast if he wanted to fast them.
The Shaykh : No, because he started fasting here as a resident.
The questioner : He started fasting as a resident.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Okay, if he had wanted to fast there, he would not have fasted according to their custom, as you said.
The Shaykh : If he wanted to fast, he would fast according to their custom, he would not go against the country, he would celebrate with them.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But here the matter is different because he did not fast.
The questioner : He did not fast.
The Shaykh : Yes, the matter is different.
The questioner : It is not said that if he had wanted to fast, he would have fasted so many days there.
Another questioner : Yes, is it not said that he broke his fast for so many days, and therefore he makes them up, even if the number exceeds them by one day?
The Shaykh : If he had started fasting there, that is what would be said.
The questioner : Yes, but then this is the cause.
Another questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : Allah will account for it for you, hehe.
The questioner : Yes, my professor.
The Shaykh : But have you made up the fasts yet, or not?
The questioner : I have made up one or two days, I will complete them.
The Shaykh : What are you waiting for?
The questioner : I am waiting.
Another questioner : Until you cool down a bit.
Another questioner : Until the day breaks.
Another questioner : Until you cool down a bit.
Another questioner : Yes, my professor, if the hunter is correct, meaning he aims at a bird and another bird falls.
The Shaykh : Meaning, do you think it is early?
The questioner : No... Ramadan came, Shawwal came...
The Shaykh One must hasten to make up the fasts, because as He - the Exalted - said: [Luqman 31:34].
The questioner : I was traveling, and I tried to fast one day... it was all fasting, I couldn't manage it, and in breaking the fast I fasted...
The Shaykh : The rest of Ramadan. The important thing is that you broke your fast there. Tell me, was the fasting there before or after compared to here?

And hasten to the forgiveness of your Lord
وَسَارِعُوا إِلَى مَغْفِرَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْAnd no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die
وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدًا وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ
