Question : First, let us begin.
Answer : No, all of them, all of them. However, regarding the issue of fasting, I hold that it should not be postponed until the second Ramadan. This is because, as you know, breaking the fast is not like shortening the prayer. Also, if one postpones it for a month or two, the days will accumulate, and he may become unable to keep up or become negligent, causing the obligatory duty to be lost. It is permissible, but if he fears [negligence], and the default is that it is permissible to break the fast until he returns to his family, we say that if he remains for five years, he will have five months of fasting to make up, and that may become difficult for him and he may become negligent. So, to prevent this harm, I hold that he should not postpone it until the second Ramadan. For this reason, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to fast while traveling and shorten the prayer. This indicates that the emphasis on breaking the fast is not like the emphasis on shortening the prayer.
