Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the book *Kashf al-Mukhaddirat*, it is stated: “And if a traveler knows that he will arrive tomorrow, it is obligatory for him to fast, according to the explicit text.” Is this statement correct? This applies
Answer:
Yes, this applies if he knows that he will arrive tomorrow; it is obligatory for him to fast because the day will not pass for him in its entirety while he is a traveler. The day will not pass for him in its entirety while he is a traveler, so it is obligatory for him to fast. And his saying “according to the explicit text” means from Imam Ahmad. If he says “according to the explicit text,” it means it is from Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him). Yes.
