Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Hello, peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace. Yes.

The questioner : Excuse me, Shaykh, I am disturbing you.

The Shaykh : Please, go ahead.

The questioner : We want to ask you about some of the sheikhs who say that people must break their fast today.

The Shaykh : No, that is a mistake. You must fast and complete your day. We have already discussed this issue in detail, so we must continue here. As long as the ruler has announced that this day is part of the completion of the month of Ramadan.

The questioner : Now, one of our brothers broke his fast based on his opinion. How...

The Shaykh : First, he must abstain from food, and second, after the festival, he must make up this day.

The questioner : Okay, may Allah reward you with good.

The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you.

The questioner: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
