Breaking the Fast While Traveling During the Fasting of Expiation

The questioner:
Now, is it permissible for the one upon whom it is obligatory to break his fast if he travels from the imam, or not?

The Shaykh:
It is permissible for him to break his fast, and it does not break the continuity. Breaking the fast while traveling does not break the continuity; because it is a breaking of the fast permitted by the Shari'ah, and a breaking of the fast permitted by the Shari'ah does not break the continuity.

The questioner:
And what about?

The Shaykh:
Some scholars hold that it breaks the continuity; because his travel is by his own choice. But the correct view, if Allah wills, is that it does not break the continuity; because Allah granted a dispensation for the traveler to break his fast. Or, suppose he fell ill during the fasting of expiation, he became ill and needed to break his fast; he breaks his fast and it does not break the continuity, because it is a legal excuse. Yes.
