Question:
Is it possible for us to say that breaking the fast while traveling is better, based on the generality of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
It is not an act of righteousness to fast while traveling.ليس من البر الصيام في السفر
Sunan Ibn Majah 1664Sahih (Darussalam)
where…?

Answer:
This has a reason. They said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “It is not righteousness to fast while traveling.” Do you know the reason? It is that this man was burdened with hardship; it was difficult for him. So he said, “This is not his work; it is not righteousness, because it was hard on himself.” Yes.
