Question: I am from East Asia. Our lunar month is one day later than in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We, the students, will be traveling during the month of Ramadan this year. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 1081b to the end of the hadith. We began fasting in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, then we will travel to our country during Ramadan, and by the end of the month we will have fasted thirty-one days. My question is: What is the ruling on our fasting, and how many days should we fast?
Answer: If you fast in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere, and then fast the remainder of the month in your country, break your fast with them, even if that results in more than thirty days. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Jami` at-Tirmidhi 697Hasan (Darussalam) However, if you have not completed twenty-nine days, you must complete that, because the month does not fall short of twenty-nine days. And success is from Allah.
Observe fast on sighting it (the new moon) and break (fast) on sighting it (the new moon)
صوموا لرؤيته وأفطروا لرؤيتهAnswer: If you fast in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere, and then fast the remainder of the month in your country, break your fast with them, even if that results in more than thirty days. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
The fast is the day the people fast, the breaking of the fast is the day the people break their fast
الصوم يوم تصومون، والفطر يوم تفطرون
