Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. As for what follows, the questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. If one travels by modern means and there is no hardship upon him, is it better to break the fast or to fast?
Answer:
It is permissible for the traveler to break his fast, and it is permissible for him to fast, but breaking the fast is better for him, taking the dispensation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 2:341 So it is permissible for the traveler to fast, and it is permissible for him to break his fast, but breaking the fast is better for him. And as we mentioned, whether the travel is in a comfortable means or in a difficult means, because Allah granted a dispensation to the traveler absolutely and did not make an exception. Yes.

Allah the Most High loves that His permissions be practiced, just as he dislikes that disobedience to Him be committed.
إن الله يحب أن تؤتى رخصه كما يكره أن تؤتى معصيته.
