What is meant by hardship in travel?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : When I read about hardship in travel, is it any hardship, or is it the hardship that arises as a result of the travel?

Answer : It is the hardship that arises as a result of the travel, whereas the hardship of fasting exists even in one’s hometown. But is it permissible for a traveler to eat and drink in front of people? He was traveling. We say that if he is wearing the signs of travel, there is nothing wrong with it. If he is not wearing the signs of travel, it is better that he eat in a discreet manner so that he does not expose himself to backbiting from one angle, or so that children and young people are not misled by him and think that fasting is not an obligation.
