TRAVEL: If a person is traveling during the days of Ramadan, they may choose not to fast. If someone sets out on a journey after the break of dawn, that is, after beginning the fast, they do not break their fast and continue fasting for that day. However, if they were to break their fast, they would only need to make up for it, not offer any expiation.
