A man fasted in Saudi Arabia and the festival reached him in Jordan, where they completed the month differently than in Saudi Arabia, having fasted twenty-nine days; how should he act?

The questioner : Naturally, I fasted in Saudi Arabia, and the start of the month there was the same as the start here. The festival was confirmed here; they announced the confirmation of the festival here, but they did not announce it there. Here, they completed thirty days, as is well known. Here, it was twenty-nine days. What do you say in a case like this?

The Shaykh : If your breaking of the fast is with the town in which you recently settled, and that town completes the month according to the Shari'ah, then break your fast with the people of the town, and you have done so.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : As long as the fasting was a single entry into the month, the exit does not differ whether the exit was after thirty days or not. However, if you started later than us here by a day, then you must remain fasting to complete twenty-nine days.

The questioner : Yes.

The Shaykh : And Allah knows best.
