Is it permissible for a traveler who broke his fast during his journey to eat and drink after returning to his hometown while still not fasting?

If a traveler arrives while having broken their fast, or a woman becomes pure from menstruation, or a sick person recovers during the day, the majority of scholars hold that they are not obliged to fast for the remainder of the day, because they broke their fast due to a valid excuse. Nevertheless, they should not break their fast openly in front of those who are unaware of their excuse, to avoid being misunderstood. Ibn Qudamah mentioned two narrations regarding this issue: the first obliges them to abstain (the view of Abu Hanifa), and the second does not (the view of Malik and Al-Shafi'i).

Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen supported the view that they are not obliged to abstain, arguing that there is no benefit in abstaining, because the fast for that day is only valid if observed from dawn, and these individuals were not among those upon whom fasting was obligatory at that time. He also argued that Allah only obliged them to make up the days they missed fasting, and obliging them to abstain for the remainder of the day and then make up the fast means obliging them to do more than what Allah has obligated. However, they should not openly eat or drink to avoid causing mischief. Al-Nawawi also mentioned that if a traveler arrives having broken their fast and finds their wife pure from menstruation or recovered from illness while she too is not fasting, he may have intercourse with her, and no expiation is due from him.
