Parent was talking about fasting -for instance- in "the north pole where it stays in full sunlight all day long throughout the entire summer".



User dvt covered that situation just fine, so I didn't feel like repeating what they said :) Residents living in areas that experience periods of 24-hour of continuous daylight/night base their fasting on the dawn and sunset times of the nearest city that have normal sunrises and sunsets. It's a common case study when learning Islamic Law (aka Shariah).
