In commanding the fast during Ramadan, Allah s.w.t. has given special consideration to travellers (musafir) such that it is not obligatory upon them to fast when they are traveling, but they have to make up the days they had missed (qada’) after Ramadan. Allah says in the Quran, in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 184: “For a certain number of days; but whoever among you is sick or on a journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of other days…” As a traveller frequently encounters difficulties, Allah s.w.t. gives him/her an exemption from the obligations of fasting in Ramadan when he/she travels.
