Question: When Muslims live in a country like Norway or the UK and in the summer the Maghreb and fajar are only 4 hours apart (therefore the fasts are 20 hours) in the summer and in the winter the Maghreb and Fajr are 18 hours apart and therefore the fasts are only 6-7 hours, is there a more middle path fast that can be done to even it out? Or must we fast the exact hours of the true Maghreb and Fajr?

عندما یعیش الشخص في بلاد مثل النرویج و إنجلترا تكون الساعات ما بین المغرب و الفجر قلیلة یمكن أربع ساعات وساعات الصیام ٢٠ ساعة ، هل نصوم ؟

Answer: In the Name of Allah, The Abundantly Merciful, The Intensely Merciful
All praises belong to Allah the Lord of the Worlds
O Allah send Your prayers upon Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad the Imams and the Mahdis
Yes, this is an equation from Allah The Almighty. Weather is cold in those regions, so fasting in them is not difficult.

بسم االله الرحمن الرحیم
والحمد الله رب العالمین
اللهم صل على محمد وآل محمد الأئمة والمهدیین وسلم تسلیما كثیرا
نعم هذه معادلة من االله عز وجل. الجو یكون بارد في هذه المناطق، فیكون الصوم فیها غیر صعب
Every day is Ashura, and every land is Karbala
