Website of the Office of Grand Ayatullah Saanei :: Fasting by a Traveler

Fasting by a Traveler

Issue 839: A traveler who must reduce their four-Rak’at prayers to two-Rak’at ones, must not fast; however, a traveler who offers full prayers, like a person who is an oft-traveler or who goes on a journey for an illegal purpose, must fast while being on the journey.

Issue 840: If a person who is fasting travels after midday, they must complete their fast and the fast will be valid.

Issue 841: If a fasting person wants to travel longer than a legal distance before midday, they must reverse their intention of fasting when they reach the limit of permission, that is, to reach the point where no longer the sound of Adhaan can be heard from the city, nor the walls of the city can be seen; however, if they break their fast before they reach such a point, as an obligatory precaution, they must not only observe the Quadha fast but also make the atonement.

Issue 842: It does not matter to travel in Ramadhan, but it is legally disapproved to travel in Ramadhan to evade fasting.

Issue 843: If a traveler arrives, before the midday, in their hometown or in a place where they intend to stay for at least ten days, they should complete the fast of that day provided that have not done anything to break their fast; but if they have done such a thing, they are not obliged to fast on that day and they will have to observe the Quadha later.

Issue 844: If a traveler arrives, after the midday, in their hometown or in a place where they intend to stay for at least ten days, they must not go on fasting on that day.

Issue 845: A traveler is allowed to keep recommended fasts for three days in Medina for the purpose of asking God for something.

Issue 846: The fast of a person will be void if they do not know that the fasts of a traveler are void, and thus fast while being on a journey, but learn about the issue during the day; however, if they learn about the issue after the sunset, their fast will be valid.

Issue 847: It is legally disapproved for a traveler and for a person who has an excuse to abandon fasting to have sexual intercourse in Ramadhan or to eat and drink to their fill.
