The Shaykh : The opposite of a resident is a traveler. What is obligatory for a traveler?
The questioner : A traveler must break his fast and then make up the days he did not fast.
The Shaykh : That is, he is given a choice: either to fast or to break his fast and make up a number of other days. What is the evidence?
The questioner : A number of other days[Al-Baqarah 2:184].
The Shaykh : Is it better for a traveler to fast or to break his fast?
The questioner : Whatever is easier for him.
The Shaykh : That is, the best for him is the easier option. If they are equal
The questioner : If they are equal
The Shaykh : If they are equal
The questioner : fasting is preferable for him.
The Shaykh : Fasting. What is the evidence? And Allah says:[Al-Baqarah 2:184] I mentioned, I think yesterday, three aspects. Good, by Allah.
The questioner : The evidence is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions, and 'Abdullah ibn Rawahah, used to fast.
The Shaykh : The evidence is that fasting was the practice of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The evidence is that this was the practice of the Messenger. The hadith of Abu al-Darda' states: "We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey in intense heat, and none of us was fasting except the Messenger of Allah and 'Abdullah ibn Rawahah." This is one. Two.
The questioner : His saying, Exalted is He:.
The Shaykh : No, no, that is not it.
The questioner : The saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 1664Sahih (Darussalam).
The Shaykh : This indicates that breaking the fast is preferable.
The questioner : ... It is not righteousness to fast while traveling.
The Shaykh : The second aspect is that it is quicker in clearing the debt, because a person may die while making up the fasts, and the making up or feeding [the poor] may be delayed. The third aspect is that it is easier. It is usually easier for the one obligated to fast. Therefore, we see that if a person has a fast to make up, even if it is only one day, he considers it a lot. In fact, some people have one or two days to make up and do not make them up until Sha'ban. How many conditions did we mention just now?
