The traveler has the choice between fasting and breaking the fast in comfortable means of travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: We are now in an age where comfortable means of transport are available, such as airplanes, cars, and trains. The fasting person, praise be to Allah, travels long distances without feeling tired, especially if he travels by plane. So what is better for him in this case: fasting or breaking the fast?
Question: The traveler has the choice between fasting and breaking the fast, and the apparent meaning of the scriptural evidence is that breaking the fast is better, especially if fasting is difficult for him; because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 1946, and his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Bulugh al-Maram 2:341. And if he fasts, there is no blame on him if fasting is not difficult for him. If fasting is difficult for him, it is disliked for him to do so. And success is from Allah.
Question: The traveler has the choice between fasting and breaking the fast, and the apparent meaning of the scriptural evidence is that breaking the fast is better, especially if fasting is difficult for him; because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
It is not righteousness that you fast on a journey.
ليس من البر الصوم في السفرAllah the Most High loves that His permissions be practiced, just as he dislikes that disobedience to Him be committed.
إن الله يحب أن تؤتى رخصه كما يكره أن تؤتى معصيته
