The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: A traveler intended to break his fast while on his journey, but he realized that it would not benefit him, and he was able to continue fasting, so he abandoned that intention. What is required of him?
The Shaykh:
If he firmly abandons the intention, his fast is invalidated. However, if he intended to break his fast during his journey but felt strong enough and did not carry out that intention, then his fast remains valid, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
The presenter:
This is the mother of Naif speaking.
The Shaykh:
Regarding firmly abandoning the intention. Yes. Yes.
