Question : #102

Category: Fasting / Sawm / Roza

Subject:	travelling and fasting
Question:	During ramadhan, I am required to travel for work to interstate for 5 days. While traveling interstate is not a common thing at all in my type of work, am I required to fast those 5 days or not?
Answer:	Salaam alaykum, No, during those days you are considered a traveler. Therefore, you cannot fast and your prayers will be shortened. You must make up your fasts after the month of Ramadan. Fi amanillah
