Completing the Day of Fasting for One Who Travels During It and the Prophet’s Breaking of the Fast
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that some scholars have said that if a man fasts while resident and then travels during the day, he should complete that day. He also says: It was mentioned to us that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out fasting and then broke his fast during the day. Does this serve as a refutation of those who hold the aforementioned opinion?
Answer:
We did not say that it is obligatory for him; we say that it is better for him to break his fast. If he continues fasting and completes his day, there is no harm.
