· Can I fast for a fixed 12 hours when the days are very long?
Mufti Abu Layth says one may follow any reasonable fasting timetable, and that he endorses the fatwa that a fast of twelve hours or more is valid for those who need it, whose need others may not judge.
“i feel that fatwa is valid for people who need it how do you know you need it well i'm not nobody can judge that”

· Can I skip fasting because of work, exams or health, and what do I do instead?
Mufti Abu Layth says whether one can fast is one's own decision, that those who cannot should make the fast up later or, if their situation will not change, give fidya on the apparent reading of 2:184, and that fasting is a personal commitment, not a punishment.
“in that case i would say that you give fidya for each day that you miss okay and this is based on the apparent reading of the quran”
