Imām Ibn Bāz said:
“If you begin fasting in Saudi Arabia or elsewhere, then complete the rest of the month in your own country, you should break your fast according to their Eid—even if that means fasting more than thirty days—based on the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ): ‘Fasting is the day you all fast, and breaking the fast is the day you all break the fast.’
However, if you have not completed twenty-nine days, then you must make it up, because the (lunar) month is not less than twenty-nine days. And Allah is the Granter of success.”
(Majmooʿ Fatāwā ash-Shaikh Ibn Bāz 15/155.)
Arabic:
الجواب: إذا صمتم في السعودية أو غيرها ثم صمتم بقية الشهر في بلادكم فأفطروا بإفطارهم ولو زاد ذلك على ثلاثين يومًا؛ لقول النبي ﷺ: الصوم يوم تصومون، والفطر يوم تفطرون لكن إن لم تكملوا تسعًا وعشرين يومًا فعليكم إكمال ذلك، لأن الشهر لا ينقص عن تسع وعشرين. والله ولي التوفيق

Allāmah Ibn ʿUthaimeen said:
“If a person moves from one Muslim country to another, and the country he has moved to celebrates Eid later, then he should remain fasting with them until they break their fast. This is because fasting is the day people fast, breaking the fast is the day people break the fast, and Eid al-Adha is the day people offer their sacrifices.
Even if this results in an extra day or more for him, it is similar to if he travelled to a place where the sunset is later—he continues fasting until the sun sets, even if that adds two, three, or more hours beyond the usual day.
Also, when he arrives in the second country, the moon has not been sighted there, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) instructed that we should neither fast nor break the fast except upon sighting it. He said, “Fast when you see it, and break your fast when you see it.”
(Majmooʿ al-Fatāwā 19/Q24)
He also said: “Some scholars have said that if he completes thirty days, then he should break his fast privately, because the month cannot exceed thirty days. However, he should not do so openly, since the people are still fasting, so he should not publicise his breaking of the fast.”
(Fatāwā al-Haram al-Makki: 1407-16B)
إذا انتقل الإنسان من بلد إسلامي إلى بلد إسلامي وتأخر إفطار البلد الذي انتقل إليه فإنه يبقى معهم حتى يفطروا ؛ لأن الصوم يوم يصوم الناس ، والفطر يوم يفطر الناس ، والأضحى يوم يضحي الناس ، وهذا وإن زاد عليه يوم ، أو أكثر فهو كما لو سافر إلى بلد تأخر فيه غروب الشمس ، فإنه يبقى صائماً حتى تغرب ، وإن زاد على اليوم المعتاد ساعتين ، أو ثلاثاً ، أو أكثر ، ولأنه إذا انتقل إلى البلد الثاني فإن الهلال لم ير فيه وقد أمر النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام أن لا نصوم ولا نفطر إلا لرؤيته ، فقال : ( صوموا لرؤيته ، وأفطروا لرؤيته ) .
وأما العكس : وهو أن ينتقل من بلد تأخر فيه ثبوت الشهر إلى بلد تقدم ثبوت الشهر فيه فإنه يفطر معهم ، ويقضي ما فاته من رمضان ، إن فاته يوم قضى يوماً ، وإن فاته يومان قضى يومين ، فإذا أفطر لثمانية وعشرين يوماً قضى يومين إن كان الشهر تامًّا في البلدين ، ويوماً واحداً إن كان ناقصاً فيهما أو في أحدهما . ” مجموع فتاوى الشيخ ابن عثيمين ” ( 19 / السؤال رقم 24 )
وقال بعض العلماء إنه إذا أتم ثلاثين يوما فإنه يفطر سرا يفطر سرا لأن الشهر لا يمكن أن يزيد على ثلاثين يوما ولا يعلن إفطاره لأن الناس صائمون فلا يعلن إفطاره.
فتاوى الحرم المكي-1407-16
Fatwa of Al-‘Allāmah Ubaid al-Jābirī: A man started fasting in Saudi Arabia, then he returned to his own country, and they started fasting a day later. So what does he do?
Question.
A man wishes to fast in Ramadan in Saudi Arabia and the last half in his own country. Sometimes his country may delay starting the fasting of Ramadan by a day, differing in that respect from other countries. So what should I do if I return to my land in the last half of Ramadan? Should he complete the month with his country or with the land he began the month in?
Answer.
“This affair requires an explanation. This matter has two situations for you.
The first situation: That your end of the month agrees with the land that you started fasting in. What is apparent is that it is Saudi Arabia. Is that correct? So in this scenario, there would be no problem.
The second situation: Your land was delayed in the moon-sighting for the beginning of Ramadaan by a day or two after Saudi Arabia. So in this respect, you are confronted with one of two scenarios:
The first being that you complete the thirty days of fasting, so when you have completed the thirty days, you cease fasting.
The second scenario is that you will not be able to complete the thirty days, so then you are to fast with the people of your land until you complete the thirty days of fasting, and you are not to exceed that.
Meaning: In the first scenario, if your land completes thirty days, you fast with them for thirty days, and you cease fasting with them.
In the second scenario, if your fasting is in line with Saudi, and you continue fasting in your land and complete thirty days, and then you cease fasting after that, even if it be secretly, and Allah knows best.“
