Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Calls from the brothers and sisters. Abu 'Abd al-'Aziz from Ha'il is with us on the line. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Peace be upon you. Upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. Peace be upon you, Shaykh Salih. And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah. Peace be upon you. We are listening, so state your question, my brother. The first question: They go on trips in Ramadan and break their fast and shorten the prayer. What is the ruling on this? Good, this is the first question. Desert trips. Good, those who go out on desert trips in Ramadan.

Answer:
First, it is not befitting for a person to go out in Ramadan for the sake of leisure, or for hunting, or something similar, or with the intention of breaking his fast in Ramadan. However, if he has a need, and if he has a need and the distance is eighty kilometers or more, then he may break his fast in Ramadan, unless he stays in a place in the desert for a stay that exceeds four days. In that case, he must complete the prayer and fast in Ramadan, and not break his fast, because his state of travel has ended due to his stay. Yes.
