Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I hope Your Eminence the Shaykh will clarify for me the matter of my fasting while traveling. I travel frequently and I take the dispensation, especially when I travel for treatment or work, so I break my fast there. And when I arrive in Riyadh, I make up those days.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. The traveler may break his fast; the traveler may break his fast. However, if he intends to stay in a place during his travel for a period exceeding four days, then the state of travel is broken by that stay. He must fast and complete the prayer, he must fast and complete the prayer, because the travel has ended with this stay that he knows exceeds four days. Yes.
