Q 6:
Which is better, observing Sawm (fasting) or breaking Sawm while traveling?
A:
Many Sahih (authentic) Hadiths which reported the sayings and the deeds of the Prophet (peace be upon him) proved that it is better for a traveler to break Sawm, whether there is hardship in travel or not. However, it is permissible for a traveler to observe Sawm.
It was narrated by Imam
Muslim
(may Allah be merciful to him), from
Hamzah ibn `Amr Al-Aslamy that he said,
"O Messenger of Allah! I am strong enough to observe Sawm during travel; is there any sin in doing that?" Thereupon, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "It is a Rukhsah (concession) from Allah; whoever takes advantage thereof is approved and whoever prefers to observe Sawm has no sin incurred."
