Which Location’s Sehri Time Applies When Travelling?

· 2 Ramadan 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

We will be traveling via Doha, arriving there at 5:30 AM, with a two-hour layover before continuing on to Madinah.

My question is: While en route to Madinah, should I follow the Sehri (Suhoor) time of Doha or that of Madinah?

Answer

You should follow the Sehri (Suhoor) time of the location where you are physically present at the time of Sehri.

If you are in Doha at the time of Sehri, then you will follow the Sehri time of Doha and begin your fast accordingly. Once you are traveling onward, you will continue your fast based on the timings of the location you are in at each stage of your journey. [Aap Ke Masaa’il 3/304]

And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
