The ruling on breaking the fast while traveling by airplane
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Comfortable means of travel, such as traveling by airplane, involve no hardship. Do you see it as permissible to break the fast?
Answer:
Allah, Glorified and Exalted, said:[Al-Baqarah 2:184] He did not specify this for travel by airplane, by car, by ship, by camel, or by donkey. Allah, Glorified and Exalted, generalized the ruling, and He knows best the interests of His servants. Travel necessarily involves hardship; it necessarily involves hardship. Therefore, breaking the fast in an obligatory fast is better than fasting, and if he fasts, his fast is valid. Yes.

فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ
