Fasting one day less due to going for umrah in Ramadhaan
Question
We went for umrah in Ramadhaan. We left a few days after Ramadhaan started.
South Africa fasted 30 days. Saudi also fasted 30 days. But they started Ramadhaan and finished one day earlier.
Because we were in Saudi for Eid, we only fasted 29 days in total actually.
So, do we need to keep qaza of one fast, because both countries had full 30 days but due to spending Eid in Saudi we only fasted 29?
Answer
You do not need to keep a qadha fast.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
