The Ruling on Fasting While Traveling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. The Shaykh says: While traveling, and in this time when the far has become near and the means of transportation, such as cars and airplanes, have become readily available. I travel a lot during Ramadan, so what is better for me: to fast or to break the fast?
Answer:
The better option is to do what is easier for you. If it is easier for you to break the fast, and this is the default ruling and the dispensation, then break the fast. If it is easier for you to fast because making up the missed days would be difficult for you, or would be a burden, or you would be preoccupied with other things, then fast. In that case, you are doing what is easier for you. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
