A traveler abstaining from all that breaks Sawm upon reaching his homeland

Q 2: A man broke his Sawm (fast) while on a journey. What should he do upon reaching his home country; observe Sawm or unobjectionably eat? Please provide evidence.

A: Breaking one's Sawm while on a journey is a Rukhsah (concession) Allah enacted to alleviate the suffering of His servants. Therefore, once the cause behind enacting such a Rukhsah is no longer in effect, it becomes consequently ineffective. Accordingly, a traveler who reaches his homeland during the day has to abstain from all that breaks Sawm, because such a person is included under the general purport of the Ayah (Qur'anic verse) that reads, So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
