Summary
A traveller who left the place of residence before dawn may break the fast during the journey. Upon arriving at the destination or place of residence during the day in Ramadan, it is recommended, not obligatory, to refrain from eating and drinking until sunset out of respect for the sanctity of the time. He should not eat or drink in front of people unaware of his excuse, to avoid accusation and slander.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mereka dibenarkan mengambil rukhsah berbuka puasa sepanjang perjalanan asalkan mereka keluar daripada kawasan permukiman sebelum masuk waktu subuh, namun mereka disunatkan menahan diri daripada makan dan minum (imsak) setibanya dia di destinasi permukiman pada siang hari Ramadan.
