Is it permissible for a traveler to fast in Ramadan?

The questioner : Is it permissible for a traveler to fast in Ramadan?

The Shaykh : Is it permissible for a traveler to fast in Ramadan? There is no doubt in the permissibility of that, especially since the explicit choice was mentioned in a hadith in Sahih Muslim when the Companion named 'Amr ibn Hamzah al-Aslami asked him, saying that he travels a lot, so should he fast? . This is part of the wisdom of legislation that it did not prefer fasting over breaking the fast, or breaking the fast over fasting, but rather left the matter to the one obligated, because those obligated differ greatly in this. Some prefer fasting in the month of fasting, on the condition that they fast in a month other than this one when people are breaking their fasts. And some prefer comfort in their travel in this month and do not feel any hesitation about fasting in a month other than this one. Therefore, his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): , is at the peak of wisdom. Yes.
