If you have to fly to a client site 4 days per week, technically you are on a journey, right? Do you make up for the days you don't fast when you are at home well after Ramadan? Or do you still fast at while you are away from home? Or just not fast on travel days? My Iftars will always be in the airplane on travel days. What about time zones?

OP, you are considered traveling. Therefore you have a valid excuse to not fast. Those days would have to be later made up. Fasting while traveling is up to the person, so long as it's not detrimental to your health

I just fast when I'm traveling. It's easier when you travel - the only exception being a masjid close by. I end up taking the Uber. Used to fly within a Muslim country in Ramadan a few years ago and the iftar used to be based on the destination

We always think it's difficult but it's doable. Spent a year in London and didn't fast for the first 5 days as Sheri was at 3am and iftar at like 9 pm

Then sailed through it once I gathered courage to start fasting haha

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend.

Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!
