Abstaining from food and drink for one who arrives in a city during the daytime of Ramadan
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Now, most jurists say that if a person arrives in a city while traveling, meaning the one he intends to stay in, does he have to abstain?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Their evidence for this is, meaning, respecting the time.
The Shaykh:
This differs: a person in his own city abstains, but a person in a city of travel does not, if he is staying there for two, three, or four days, he is not required to abstain, because he is a traveler. Abstention is required if he intends to stay for more than four days according to the majority, or if he intends an indefinite stay according to the others.
The questioner:
May Allah forgive you, in the middle of the day, may Allah forgive you, meaning you are in the middle of the day and he is intoxicated.
The Shaykh:
If he arrives and the daytime prayer is in his city, he is required to abstain in it, like his city or a city he intends to reside in. So if he comes, he is required to abstain. But if he passes through a city where he is not residing, and he is a traveler, he is on a journey. A person going to Makkah passes through al-Dawarmi, or passes through al-Qaw'iyyah, or passes through Buraydah on the way out of need, he is a traveler even if he passes through the city. It is not required of him to stay in Makkah; it is less than that for you. If he stayed for four years or less, there is no ruling of travel.
Yes, it has become obligatory upon you to make up the fast of Ashura. When it was obligatory or a confirmed recommended practice, then it was concealed by Ramadan. When Ramadan was made obligatory, Ashura was concealed and became only a recommended practice.
