Fasting of the traveler and the ruling on one who travels during the day
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I said to the Shaykh: If a person travels in Ramadan and is fasting, and fasting is not dropped from him while he is in Cairo, do we tell him that your fasting is longer than expiation? Therefore, if the act of worship falls within the time prescribed by the Lawgiver, that is correct. As for whether fasting and expiation are the same in a single year of fasting, or
Answer:
We have previously spoken about this and said: If fasting does not burden him, he has a choice. The hadith of Hamzah al-Aslami: If fasting does not burden him, he has a choice; if he wishes, he fasts, and if he wishes, he breaks his fast, and he is in al-Ta'if because he is a traveler. However, if fasting burdens him, he breaks his fast, even if he is in al-Ta'if.
But the scholars differed on whether one begins fasting while resident and then travels during the day. They differed on this. Some scholars say it is obligatory for him to complete it because he began fasting while present, so he is required to complete it that day. And some scholars say no, he is not required to complete it that day. If he leaves the city, it is permissible for him to shorten the prayer and it is permissible for him to break his fast. This is the correct view. This is the correct view. Yes.
