Chapter on The Fast of a Traveler

Zujajat al-Masabih 2485Volume 1

English

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Allah Almighty intended ease for you 1 in breaking the fast while traveling. So whoever finds fasting easy may fast, and whoever finds breaking the fast easy may do so.”

Note 1

Ease for you...

(1) The statement: “Ease for you...” Ibn Abbas did not consider the Prophet’s (ﷺ) breaking of the fast while traveling as abrogating fasting during travel but as a means of ease. This is mentioned in Sharh Ma’ani al-Athar.
