Summary
The ruling on fasting and celebrating Eid depends on the place where a person is located. Someone who travels to a country that celebrates Eid earlier must celebrate with its residents. If the fast totals only 28 days, one day must be made up, but no make-up is needed if it reaches 29 or 30 days. A person coming from a country that began fasting earlier continues fasting until the local residents celebrate Eid, and some scholars allow breaking the fast discreetly once 30 days are complete.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
