Think he is suggesting that the sun does not set at this time of the year in the N Hemisphere - hence breaking the fast would be an issue.

They would do it with other countries. Like 13-16 hours break from food/water etc..and then open your fast even if the sun is up.

In Denmark a friend told they are fasting about 20 hours wondering what would happen in case of northern Sweden. Chances are 50/50 either it can be very long or very short

20 hours is crazy man! Cut it back to 16-17 hours etc. :/

As Islamic Civilization/Islamic people reach to the farthest ends of the planet, Muslim Scholars have to think about these issues.

Muslims in Austrailia have it good! On 12 hours of fasting or so
