Breaking the Fast in Ramadan for the Traveler to Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is the mother of 'Abd from Riyadh. She says: We are traveling, Honorable Shaykh, to Makkah in the month of Ramadan, and we are fasting. Do we break our fast when we arrive there so that we may have the strength to perform 'Umrah?
Answer:
If you intend to stay for more than four days, then you are required to fast from the moment you arrive, because the state of travel has ended for you. However, if your stay is four days or less, or if you do not know when it will end and you do not specify the duration of your stay, there is nothing wrong with breaking the fast. Yes.
