Sunan Ibn Majah 1666 (Book 7, Hadith 29) #31018
The Equivalence of Travelling and Non-Travelling Fasts

SUMMARY: Fasting during Ramadan while travelling is equivalent to fasting when not travelling.

It was narrated from 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf that the Messenger of Allah said: "The one who fasts Ramadan while traveling is like one who breaks his fast when not traveling". Abu Ishaq said: "This Hadith is of no significance".
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ صَائِمُ رَمَضَانَ فِي السَّفَرِ كَالْمُفْطِرِ فِي الْحَضَرِ ‏"‏ ‏.قالَ أَبُو إِسْحاقَ: هَذاالْحَديثُ لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of fasting during the holy month of Ramadan. It states that if a person is travelling during this time, their fast will be equal to that of someone who is not travelling. This means that even if a person is on the move or away from home for any reason, they should still observe their fast and abstain from food and drink throughout the day as it will be counted as an accepted fast. The hadith also mentions Abu Ishaq's opinion which was that this hadith was insignificant but it does not mean that we should ignore its teachings. We must remember to keep our fasts even when we are away from home so we can reap its rewards in full measure.
