Fasting with the Country in which you reside

Question :

If the beginning of the month of Ramadhan has been confirmed in one of the Islamic countries, like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and that has been announced, however in the country in which I live, the beginning of Ramadhan has not been announced, what is the ruling? Do we fast merely by the confirmation in the Kingdom or do we break our fast and fast with them (the people where we are) whenever they announce the beginning of the month of Ramadhan, and likewise regarding the beginning of Shawwal - 'Eid day? What is the ruling if there is a difference in the matter between two countries? May Allâh reward you with a good reward on behalf of the Muslims and us.

Answer:

It is (obligatory) upon the Muslim to fast with the country where he is and to break his fast with them. This is due to the statement of the Prophet:
"The fast is the day that you all fast, breaking the fast is on the day that you all break the fast and the sacrifice (Al-Adhha) is on the day that you all sacrifice."
And success is from Allâh.
