Question
What is the ruling on a traveler who wants to enter his country or another country where he intends to stay?
Answer
It is disliked for him to break his fast on that day, even if he is traveling at the beginning of it; because there are two conflicting reasons: the prohibition for breaking the fast, which is staying, and the allowance which is traveling on the same day, so the prohibition is preferred as a precaution. If he believes that he will not enter the city until sunset, then there is no harm in breaking his fast in it. See: Al-Badai 2: 108, and Al-Hadiyya Al-Alaiyya p.175.
