Question:
The questioner says: If a traveler returns to his town after the 'Asr prayer, and he had broken his fast that day, what is required of him? Does he abstain from food and drink, or does he remain in a state of having broken his fast?
Answer:
If he returns to his town during the day, even if only half an hour or less, or ten minutes, remain of the day, he must abstain from food and drink for the rest of the day, whether the time is short or long, as a sign of respect for the month and reverence for the month. He does not eat while he is resident, nor does he break his fast while he is resident, because the journey has ended. He returns to fasting, but he must make up this day later, because he did not fast it in full; he only fasted part of it. Yes.
