Breaking the Fast in Ramadan for Traveling to Perform 'Umrah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on one who breaks the obligatory fast and travels to perform a recommended practice, such as 'Umrah, in Ramadan? Is that permissible?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. Permissible travel allows breaking the fast,[Al-Baqarah 2:184]. Permissible travel grants a dispensation to break the fast, and praise be to Allah. If the travel is for 'Umrah, that is even better. This is travel for obedience. Yes.
