Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who makes travel an excuse to break his fast?
Answer:
It is permissible for him if he travels; it is permissible for him to break his fast. However, if he travels for the sake of circumvention in order to break the fast, he commits a sin by doing so, but he is allowed to break his fast. This traveler is allowed to break his fast, because Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says: "And whoever is[Al-Baqarah 2:184]" This is general. So if he deliberately traveled for the purpose of circumventing the abandonment of fasting, he is sinful, but it is permissible for him to break his fast as long as he is a traveler.
