Which is better for the traveler in Ramadan: to fast or to break the fast?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! One of the questions that came to the program: Abu 'Abdullah says, regarding the traveler in Ramadan, which is better for him: breaking the fast or completing the fast, whether in Ramadan or in voluntary fasts?

Answer:
The better option for the traveler in Ramadan is to break the fast. If he fasts, his fast is valid according to the majority of the scholars, but breaking the fast is better, taking the dispensation of Allah the Exalted, and because travel is a place of hardship, so the hardship of travel and the hardship of fasting should not be combined upon the Muslim. Yes.
