Muhammad ibn Yaqub, from Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi Umayr, from Rifaa ibn Musa, who said: I (narrator) asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about ‘a man who comes in the month of Ramadan from a journey until he sees that he will enter upon his family in the forenoon or when the day has risen high.’ Imam عليه السلام said: “When dawn rises while he is outside and has not entered, then he has the choice: if he wishes, he fasts, and if he wishes, he breaks the fast.”
