Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: I am traveling, and it is my custom in my country to fast on Mondays and Thursdays, but I left off fasting despite being able to do so. Do I receive the reward of fasting based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Mishkat al-Masabih 1544
Answer:
If you left off fasting for an excuse, and in your intention you would have done it if you had been able, then you have the reward of the one who fasts, because you are excused for leaving off this act. But if you left off this recommended act and did not intend to do it if you had been able, then you have no reward, and there is no sin on you. Yes.

God’s messenger as saying, “When a man is ill or on a journey, what he was accustomed to do when staying at home and well will be recorded for him.”
صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا مرض العبد أو سافر كتب له ما كان يعمل صحيحا مقيما؟Answer:
