The Fasting Person in Ramadan Entering a Country Where Its People Are Breaking Their Fast

Question
A man was in Iraq and traveled from there while he was fasting and arrived in Jordan where the people are breaking their fast. Is it permissible for him to break his fast with them?
Answer

I say, and with God's success: It is not permissible for him to break his fast; because dawn has come upon him while he was in a country where fasting is obligatory, so he must fast with them and not break his fast afterwards; because the obligation of fasting is determined by the time of dawn, and God knows best.
