Question
A person while at home began the fast during the month of Ramadhaan. Then he went on a journey and along the journey he broke the fast. What is the penalty for this or was it permissible to break the fast?
Answer
It was not permissible to have broken the fast without valid reason. He was required to have completed the fast even whilst travelling. Kaffaarah is not Waajib for having broken the fast on the journey. He has to make qadha of that day.
