Chapter on the Obligation of Shortening the Fast During Travel
وَ رَوَى اَلْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ صَامَ فِي اَلسَّفَرِ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ نَهَى عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَعَلَيْهِ اَلْقَضَاءُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بَلَغَهُ فَلاَ شَيْءَ عَلَيْهِ».
Al-Halabi narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام that he said: I asked him about a man who fasted while traveling. The Imam عليه السلام replied: "If he was informed that the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) prohibited fasting in such a situation, then he must make up for it (qada). However, if he was not aware of this prohibition, then there is no obligation upon him."
