Summary
A traveller in Ramadan is permitted not to fast on that day. In that situation he may have intercourse with his wife, eat and drink, because a traveller is not obliged to fast. The ruling is based on Surah al-Baqarah verse 184, which allows a traveller to break the fast and make up the missed days later.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukumnya harus dia tidak puasa pada hari tersebut dan boleh bersetubuh, makan dan minum kerana orang musafir tidak wajib berpuasa.
