Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A letter from a listener whose name was not mentioned in the letter, containing a number of questions.
In one of them, he asks: What is the ruling on fasting or breaking the fast for a traveler on the first day of Ramadan if Ramadan catches up with him while he is traveling?

Answer:
The best option for him is to break the fast. If he is traveling, the best option for him is to break the fast in Ramadan. This is the best for him, whether it is the first day of Ramadan or any other day. The best for him is to break the fast; because of the saying of Allah, the Exalted:
and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other daysوَمَنْ كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ
[al-Baqarah:185] And because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions used to break their fasts while traveling and also fast. The Sunnah indicates that breaking the fast is better; because of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him):
It is not righteousness that you fast on a journey.ليس من البر الصوم في السفر
Sahih al-Bukhari 1946
Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
