A person finished his fast in his hometown after sunset. Then on traveling to another city, he found that the sun there had not set yet. What will be the rule regarding his fasting?

A person performing military service could not fast during the month of Ramadan last year because of frequent traveling and being stationed on base (in the service). As Ramadan approaches this year, he is still serving in the same area and does not think he will be able to fast this year, either. Does he have to pay the kaffarah after leaving the service, in addition to performing the qada of those fast?

A: When someone forgoes fasting in the month of Ramadan because of the excuse of traveling, which extends until the next Ramadan, his only duty is to perform qada and no kaffarah is obligatory upon him. A person who lives in the port of Dayyir kept fast from the first day of Ramadan until the twenty-seventh. On the morning of the twenty-eighth day he traveled to Dubai. Arriving there on the twenty-ninth, he noticed that they had declared that day as the first of Shawwal and Eid al-Fitr there.

Now that he has returned to his hometown, does he have to make up [do qada] for the fast he missed? If he does qada of only one day then the month of Ramadan for him will be only twenty-eight days, and if he makes up for two days, then on the 29th day he was present in a place where Eid was declared. What is the ruling for such a person? A: If the twenty-ninth day of Ramadan was declared Eid in accordance with valid legal [shari] criteria, then he does not have to perform qada for that day.

But it indicates that he missed fasting at the month''s beginning, which he has to make up, the number of days he is sure of having missed. 9- A person who is committed to a job in a center in Beirut and he is asked to stay in the battle-field or go and return back without determining the place or the time?

A: If he went to his job without staying for 10 days in a single place and repeated his travel for the job covering the shari distance in each time, his prayer [salat] should be full [tamam] and his sawm would be correct.
