The distance allowing shortening Salah during travel

Q 2: What is the distance of travel in kilometers that warrants breaking Sawm (Fast)? What if a traveler observes Sawm?

A: Some scholars maintain that one is allowed to shorten a four-Rak`ah Salah (Prayer consisting of four units) and break Sawm during the daytime in Ramadan in any travel in the literal sense, i.e. Whether the distance is long or short. However, the majority of scholars stipulate a distance of about 80 km.As for a person who observes Sawm while traveling, their Sawm is valid based on the evidence supporting its validity. There is nothing wrong in this unless Sawm is likely to cause hardship, in which case a traveler should break their Sawm. In this regard, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: It is not righteousness to fast while traveling. (Part No. 10; Page No. 204) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
