Nonobservance of Sawm by a traveler during Ramadan

A: A person who is on a journey where Salah (prayer) can be shortened is permitted to break his Sawm during the month of Ramadan whether he is traveling for `Umrah, visiting his relatives or friends, seeking knowledge, trading, or the like of permissible journeys. Allah (Exalted be He) says: ...and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
