It is permissible for a traveler on a permissible journey of approximately 83 kilometers to break their fast during obligatory fasting, whether they are a perpetual traveler or not. They must make up for the days they missed fasting. It is not permissible to delay making up these days until after the next Ramadan without a valid excuse; otherwise, they must feed a poor person for each day in addition to making up the fast.
