The questioner:
He was with him and traveling, then an obstacle came to him and he remained in his town. Is he to break his fast or
The Shaykh:
not? He should not break his fast until he leaves the town; he remains fasting until he leaves the town. Otherwise, if an obstacle occurs to him during the journey, meaning due to congestion or the like, and he returns, he should abstain if he returns. And if he had intended to fast from the night, yes, yes. If he did not intend to fast from the night, because he was on the intention of travel, abstention is not obligatory, and he makes up the day if he had intended to fast. If he abstained, he makes it up if he had intended to fast, and he should not play with fasting.
