The questioner:
Is it established that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) fasted voluntarily while traveling?
The Shaykh:
Voluntary. It came in a general form; fasting came in a general form in the month, and in Ramadan he fasted the obligatory fast for his journey to Makkah in the Year of the Conquest, whereas in years other than the Year of the Conquest, it was all voluntary.
