Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good. A group of young men traveled to Jeddah in Ramadan and broke their fast on the day after their journey. Is that permissible for them?
The Shaykh : Are they travelers?
The questioner : They traveled and stayed in Jeddah.
The Shaykh : How long did they stay?
The questioner : For how many days, O Shaykh? Is it permissible for them to break their fast or not?
The Shaykh : The expression "stayed" is incorrect; say "resided."
The questioner : They resided, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Fine, there is no blame on them. If they intended to reside for the entire month of Ramadan in the Hijaz, in Makkah or Jeddah, they may break their fast, because they are still considered travelers.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : However, as you heard earlier, fasting for the traveler is better if it does not involve hardship.
