Can you fast while traveling?

Published in Fasting and Travel 1 min read

Yes, you can fast while traveling, but here's what you need to know.

While traveling, the rules for fasting, particularly during periods like Ramadan, require some adjustments. The key is to follow the appropriate guidelines based on your location and circumstances.

Fasting While in Transit

When you are in transit (e.g., on an airplane), you don't need to adhere to the fasting times of your departure or arrival country. The reference material specifies that if you're on an airplane, you should break your fast when you see the sun set from your current location. As long as night has fallen where you are, you're good.

Key Considerations

  • Observing Sunset: Break your fast according to the sunset time of your current location.
  • Flexibility: Understand that travel presents unique situations. Be prepared to adjust your fasting schedule accordingly.
