Is a traveler's breaking of the fast valid upon arriving in a country where he intends to reside, and does this entail expiation in addition to making up the missed days?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If you intended to stay two weeks in a country you arrived in, your journey has ended with this intention. You are not permitted to break your fast nor shorten your prayers, because the ruling of travel ceases with the intention of staying four days or more, according to the majority of jurists. You must make up the days you missed fasting, but there is no expiation upon you.
