The ruling on a traveler breaking his fast in Ramadan for the sake of hunting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, a person traveled a distance of four hundred kilometers during the day in Ramadan. Is it permissible for him to eat, given that his travel is for the purpose of hunting?

Answer:
He erred in leaving Ramadan and going to search for game. This is a great error. But since he intended this distance of four hundred kilometers, he may break his fast, though he is sinful for leaving Ramadan and going to hunt. He must repent to Allah and make up the days he broke. Yes.
