Following Saudi Arabia for staring fasting
Question :
In the west there’s a big difference of opinion with regards to when Ramadan begins
Some of the people start their fasting when Saudi begins theirs and some others fast with their original countries,
Knowing that there, in the west, there is an ikhwani organization which is responsible for the affairs of the Muslims which announces the sighting of the moon. So how do the Muslims fast in some of the kufar country’s?
Answer :
If that side (organization) announced even if they were from the ikhwan almuslimeen that they sighted the moon in that country, fast based upon their sighting. if that’s not possible for them to sight the moon due to it being cloudy or other then that,
And the neighbouring country sight the crescent, then they should start fasting along with the country closest to them from the land of the Muslims.
