Chapter on the Obligation of Shortening the Fast During Travel
وَ رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِذَا سَافَرَ اَلرَّجُلُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَخَرَجَ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ اَلنَّهَارِ فَعَلَيْهِ صِيَامُ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمِ وَ يَعْتَدُّ بِهِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ إِذَا دَخَلَ أَرْضاً قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ اَلْفَجْرِ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ اَلْإِقَامَةَ بِهَا فَعَلَيْهِ صَوْمُ ذَلِكَ اَلْيَوْمِ وَ إِنْ دَخَلَ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ اَلْفَجْرِ فَلاَ صِيَامَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ صَامَ ».
Al-‘Ala’ narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Imam Abu Abdullah عليه السلام: "If a man travels during the Month of Ramadan and departs after midday, he must fast that day, and it will be counted as part of his Month of Ramadan fast. However, if he enters a place before dawn with the intention of staying there, he is obligated to fast that day. But if he enters after dawn, fasting is not obligatory for him, although he may fast if he wishes."
