days

Now

What?

is travelling so sure I work in a district and

My work is and I live 10 minutes away from there. So when I travel from home to work,

Should I break my fast a key? This is not traveling. This is commuting

traveling is

To move from one city to the other

Which the people the community?

Do not

Consider this to be commuting. So for example, if a person lives in

Jeddah Saudi Arabia and

travels eight hours by Road

to Riyadh or

four hours by Road

To Medina is this considered to be travelling?

everyone in the community would say definitely this is travelling and

when you leave home you bid your family farewell and

When they call home

People call your home. They would say, oh he is travelling. He had gone to Riyadh

He had gone to Medina. He had traveled to London. This is considered to be travelling

but if it the

Proximity is closed

like in this case of Mecca and Medina

Let me rephrase that like in the proximity of Mecca and Jeddah it's about an hour

to an hour and ten minutes drive

No one in Jeddah says, okay. See you guys. I'm travelling to Mecca

We travel to Mecca maybe a couple of times a day

a lot of the people living in Jeddah work in Mecca and vice versa

likewise when it comes to

Dubai and Abu Dhabi or

Dubai and

Commuting between these two cities is not considered to be traveling anymore

people do it on daily basis and

It's almost as if they are one they're so close. There are so many buildings and houses in between

So this is not traveling, but if you're traveling

To a different city that people consider this to be travelling in this case you were exempted from fasting

sure, if I want to fast, can I ah

This is a different story

Likewise if a person who's sick really sick, can he fast if he wants to?

There are three levels

Level number one when there is

Harm

Resulting of fasting or

Really true hardship

so a person who's sick if

He fasts

His health would deteriorate

or

his recovery

would be delayed or

He would get more harm maybe dying in this case

Fasting is prohibited

What about travelling same thing if the person's?

fasting would result in him dying if he's travelling or

Causing real hardship to himself and to others or harm then it's Haram. Imagine a

person

Who's a pilot?

Traveling from Kuala Lumpur

To Jeddah Saudi Arabia. The flight is about nine hours eight and a half hours

But he's headed towards the West

Which means that the flight takes off at 12 o'clock noon

So he's been fasting for six hours from six o'clock to 12 local time in Kuala Lumpur

And he flies eight and a half hours

so these are fourteen and a half hours of fasting he ditches Jeddah at

Two o'clock p.m

local time

Which means that he has five more hours to fast

Which means that the total hours of fasting would be twenty-one for him

This is hard. But the problem is not in it being hard. The problem is in his concentration

with 300 passengers plus

onboard and he's the one who's flying if

This would cause his concentration

to be bad and to endanger the

passengers and himself

fasting here becomes

prohibited and Haram

Stage two for a traveler and for someone who's sick. I

Can fast

There's no danger from that

but there is

Hardship, it's gonna be difficult. But, my passengers will arrive safely. I'm safe. I'm not

putting myself in danger

The sick person says my recovery is on

Track but the hardship is there

I'm not gonna suffer, but it is really hard

here fasting becomes Disliked

Why?

There's no harm done

Yes, there is

What's that?

Allah has gave you concession Allah has given you permission

Not too fast a new reject

Allah is favor and blessing upon you and insist on fasting why as

Long as there is hardship and some difficulty. It's best to accept a las gift to you

This is phase 2 phase 3

When fasting and breaking your fast is totally equal

And this is imagined when you're fasting and you have a flight

From City a to city B and the flight is like half an hour

Any hardship, not at all?

as if I'm sitting home a

person who has an

illness that

allows him to

Break his fast, but he suppresses himself and there is no pain a lot of pain, but he can manage

in this case, whatever the

Fasting and not fasting are equal scholars say to fast this best

Why?

Isn't it a lot concession to us permission to us to skip yes, but the advantages

far

outweigh the disadvantages

because when you fast in Ramadan you

Attain the reward of Ramadan

When you fast with the congregation with the others around you all fasting

It is much easier than when you fast a few months later when you are the only one who's fasting everybody. Everyone else is not

so if

fasting and breaking the fast

They're equal then it's best for you to fast. As long as there's no hardship
