 كتاب الصيام

The Book of Fasting

 باب جَوَازِ الصَّوْمِ وَالْفِطْرِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ لِلْمُسَافِرِ فِي غَيْرِ مَعْصِيَةٍ إِذَا كَانَ سَفَرُهُ مَرْحَلَتَيْنِ فَأَكْثَرَ وَأَنَّ الأَفْضَلَ لِمَنْ أَطَاقَهُ بِلاَ ضَرَرٍ أَنْ يَصُومَ وَلِمَنْ يَشُقُّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ:

Chapter: It is permissible to fast or not to fast during Ramadan for one who is travelling for no sinful purpose, if his journey is two stages or further. But it is better for the one who is able to fast without suffering any harm to do so, and the one for whom it is difficult may break the fast

Hadith 1116

حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : " غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِسِتَّ عَشْرَةَ مَضَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ ، فَمِنَّا مَنْ صَامَ ، وَمِنَّا مَنْ أَفْطَرَ ، فَلَمْ يَعِبْ الصَّائِمُ عَلَى الْمُفْطِرِ ، وَلَا الْمُفْطِرُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ " ،
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported: We went out on an expedition with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the 16th of Ramadan. Some of us fasted and some of us broke the fast. But neither the observer of the fast found fault with one who broke it, nor the breaker of the fast found fault with one who observed it.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Qatada with the same chain of transmitters by different narrators (except this difference) that in the hadith transmitted by Taimi and Umar bin Amir and Hisham (the date of setting out is) 18th, and in the hadith transmitted by Sa'id it is the 12th, and in the one transmitted by Shu'bah it is the 17th or 19th.

حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا نَغْزُو مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَمَضَانَ ، فَمِنَّا الصَّائِمُ وَمِنَّا الْمُفْطِرُ ، فَلَا يَجِدُ الصَّائِمُ عَلَى الْمُفْطِرِ ، وَلَا الْمُفْطِرُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ " ، يَرَوْنَ أَنَّ مَنْ وَجَدَ قُوَّةً فَصَامَ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ حَسَنٌ ، وَيَرَوْنَ أَنَّ مَنْ وَجَدَ ضَعْفًا فَأَفْطَرَ ، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ حَسَنٌ .
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported: We went out on an expedition with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during Ramadan. Some of us observed the fast and some of us broke it. Neither the observer of the fast had any grudge against one who broke it, nor the breaker of the fast had any grudge against one who had fasted. They knew that he who had strength enough (to bear its rigour) fasted and that was good, and they also found that he who felt weakness (and could not bear the burden) broke it, and that was also good.

Explanation & Benefits
Tirmidhi — Hadith 1684
Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that in the year of the conquest of Makkah, when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) reached Marr az-Zahran and informed us of the news of facing the enemy, he ordered us to break the fast, so all of us broke our fasts . © Imam Tirmidhi says:
1- This hadith is Hasan Sahih,
2- There is also a narration from Umar in this chapter.
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
It is the name of a valley between Makkah and Usfan.

2:
If the mujahideen have reached such a place beyond which there is a fear of encountering the enemy, then in such a situation it is better to break the fast. And if it is certain that the enemy is present ahead for confrontation, then breaking the fast becomes necessary.

Abu Dawud — Hadith 2406
Narrated Qazaah: I came to Abu Saeed al-Khudri while he was giving his legal opinion to the people who bent down on him. So I waited to see hi when he was alone. When he became alone, I asked him about keeping fast while travelling. He said: we went out along with the Prophet ﷺ in Ramadan in the year of conquest of Makkah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fasted and we fasted until he reached a certain stage. He said: You have come near your enemy; the breaking of fast will bring you more strength. Then morning came when some of us fasted and other broke their fast. He (Abu Saeed al-Khudri) said: We then proceeded and alighted at a stage. He said: You are going to attack your enemy tomorrow morning ; breaking the fast will bring you more strength ; so break your fast (i. e. do not keep fast). This resolution (of breaking the fast) took place (due to the announcement) from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Saeed said: Then I found myself keeping fast along with the Prophet ﷺ before and after that.
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Fasting or not fasting during travel depends on each individual's circumstances and personal preference.

➋ The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) had a deep understanding of the true nature of the statements of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): which statement was merely an encouragement and which was a firm command (azimah). In matters of firm command (azimah), opposing the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is never permissible in any way. This is why it is said that deduction and ijtihad (independent juristic reasoning) is the work of well-grounded scholars. For legal verdicts (fatawa), one should refer only to those who possess a complete mastery of the understanding of the Qur'an and Sunnah.
