A traveler eating in a country where his people are fasting

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the stronger position regarding a man who travels from his home country to another country during Ramadan? Is he permitted to eat and drink if he stays for less than three days, or should he abstain out of respect for the time?

Answer:
Yes, if he stays in a place where his relatives are fasting, and it is permissible for him to break his fast, he should not display breaking the fast. He does not display it; rather, he breaks his fast secretly in a place not visible to people, so that people do not form a bad opinion of him. Yes.
