Fasting twenty-eight days, then moving to a country celebrating Eid

A question about fasting twenty-eight days, then moving to a country celebrating Eid, in which Jordan's General Iftaa Department answered that he celebrates Eid with them, owing nothing if he fasted twenty-nine days in all and one make-up day if he fasted twenty-eight. ¹

The questioner asked about someone who fasted twenty-eight days in one country and then moved to a country whose people were celebrating Eid. ¹

The Department answered that someone who fasted in his country and then moved to a country whose people were celebrating Eid celebrates it with them. ¹ It said that if the total he fasted was twenty-nine days he owes nothing, but if it was twenty-eight he must make up one day, because a month is never twenty-eight days. ¹
