No weight none whatsoever as long as there is day and night there.

There is a fatwa which says in Northern Europe when the fasts are extremely long you can base your fasting on Mecca so your fast will never be longer than 12 – 16 hours. It is attributed to Mohammad Abduh and Tantawi and Ali Gomaa. I feel that this opinin is wrong ? Does it hold any weight at all ?

Please let me know if we are doing this good. Our son of 13 with intellectual disability is now fasting for elhemdulilah days. It starts to get really difficult for him but we tell him not to eat. Can we do this with him. He is not like another normal thinking kid.
