Laws of fasting for a traveler
Ruling 1683: A traveller must not fast if his/her obligation on a journey is to perform the four unit (Rakʿah/Ruk’ah) prayers as two Rakʿahs [i.e. in Qasr form]. A traveller who performs his/her prayer in its complete (Tamam) form – such as someone whose work is travelling, or someone whose journey is a sinful one – must fast on his/her journey.
