The Ruling on Breaking the Fast for the Traveler

Question:
Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve you), this person says: My brother will travel abroad for seven days. And… Does he break his fast and take the ruling of the traveler in the legal rulings?

Answer:
Yes, if the travel is permissible and the distance reaches what the scholars determined as eighty kilometers or more, then it is the sunnah (recommended practice) and mustahabb (recommended) for him to break his fast, taking the rukhsah (dispensation) of Allah the Exalted in His saying: and a number of other days. Breaking the fast while traveling is better than fasting, and fasting is sufficient, but breaking the fast is better by taking the dispensation, for Allah the Exalted loves for His dispensations to be taken, just as He dislikes for His disobedience to be committed. Yes.
