May a traveler break his fast if he intends to stay?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The second question, O Shaykh, regarding the traveler as well, concerning fasting. It is as if he arrives and intends to stay; is it permissible for him to break his fast as a dispensation during the journey, or until he reaches the interior of the town?

The Shaykh : In my opinion, my previous answer provides the answer to this subsequent question. I said that either he intends to stay, in which case he is a resident and the rulings of a resident apply to him, or he does not intend to stay but has tasks he wants to complete, and when they are finished he returns, in which case he is a traveler. At that point, you take the answer regarding whether he fasts or does not fast.
