Question :

What should someone do if they fasted for only 28 days in their country and then traveled to a place where Eid has already been declared?



The Answer :

If a person fasts in their country and then travels to another country where Eid has been declared, they must celebrate Eid with the people of that country.

● If their total fasts add up to 29 days, nothing is required of them.

● However, if they have only fasted 28 days, they must make up one day after Eid, because an Islamic month cannot be only 28 days.
