I understand some people in Stockholm break their fast the same time as those in Mecca, based on the fatwa below.
It is my beleive that those who enjoyed the short days of Ramadan during the winter should not complain now. If one breaks the fast as Mecca now, does it mean that you have to pray the rest of the year at the same times as Mecca? It does not make sense.
Fatwa from Dar al-lfta al Misyyah; Number:2806
Fasting in countries where the nights are short
Question:
What is the ruling for fasting in northern (Scandinavian) countries where there is an interval of only two hours between sunset and dawn in the southern parts of these countries and where daylight hours extend to 24 hours in the northern parts during which the sun does not set?
