What is the ruling for a traveler in Ramadan if he arrives in his hometown while breaking his fast?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
After this, a message from the listener: the honorable Muhammad al-Fadil from Sudan, residing in the Kingdom, asks a number of questions. In one of them, he says: I broke my fast for one day in Ramadan, and I was coming from a journey, and I completed it on the second day. Then I broke my fast. Do I have to make up the fast? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The one fasting in Ramadan, if he arrives in his hometown during the day, he must abstain from food and drink according to the correct view; because the journey has ended, he must abstain until the sun sets. This day is not counted as a valid fast, but he must make it up. However, he must abstain. Likewise, the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding, if she becomes pure during the day, she must abstain... she takes a bath, abstains, and makes up that day; because fasting is an obligation, so he has no right to break his fast except for a valid legal excuse, such as illness or travel, as long as he is present in the country... or his hometown, he must abstain if he arrives.
And so for all the days until Ramadan is completed, he fasts as the Muslims fast, and he has no right to break his fast except for a valid legal excuse, such as illness or travel. He must make up the fasts he broke during travel, or during illness, as Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said: : [al-Baqarah:185]. The day on which he arrived in his hometown is considered a day of residence at that time, so he must abstain. If he arrives at the time of the morning prayer, or the midday prayer, he abstains for the rest of the day... until the sun sets. This day, which he broke partially, is not counted, but he must make it up. Likewise, the menstruating woman, and the woman with post-natal bleeding—as mentioned earlier—if she becomes pure, she must abstain. Likewise, the sick person, if Allah cures him at the beginning of the day, or during the day, he must abstain until it is completed, and this day is not counted, but he must make it up. Yes.
