The ruling on a traveler breaking his fast in a country other than his own
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, Honorable Shaykh, say that if a person travels and does not break his fast until he reaches the country he traveled to, and it is not his home country, it is not permissible for him to break his fast.
Answer:
This is a statement they made on their own. Allah the Exalted has granted a dispensation to the traveler to break his fast, and that is better than fasting, whether during the journey or in the country he traveled to, unless he intends to stay. If he intends to stay for more than four days, he takes on the rulings of a resident. He completes the prayer and fasts in Ramadan and does not break his fast, because he has taken on the rulings of a resident. Yes.
