Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: If the travel does not burden the fasting person, is it permissible for him to break his fast? And in his question he asks: What is the limit of travel in which breaking the fast is permissible?
The Shaykh:
As it is?
The questioner:
The limit of travel in which breaking the fast is permissible.
The Shaykh:
The limit of travel in which breaking the fast is permissible is the travel in which the prayer is shortened, which is a distance of eighty kilometers or more, meaning two days for a mount. This is the travel in which the prayer is shortened and breaking the fast is permissible in Ramadan. This is its limit. And the rest of the question?
The questioner:
If the travel does not burden him.
The Shaykh:
As mentioned before, if he is given the choice, he may break his fast if he wishes or fast if he wishes. Fasting is not obligatory for him, nor is breaking the fast obligatory for him; rather, he is given the choice. However, breaking the fast is better, as mentioned before.
