Salama b. al-Muhabbiq reported God’s messenger as saying,“If anyone has a riding-beast which carries him to where he can get sufficient food he should observe the fast of Ramadan wherever he is when it comes.”Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Jabir said that God’s messenger went off to Mecca in Ramadan in the year of the Conquest, and he and the people fasted till he came to Kura' al-Ghamim.* He then called for a cup of water which he raised till the people looked at it, and then he drank. He was told afterwards that some of the people had continued to fast, and said,“Those are the disobedient ones; those are the disobedient ones.”*A wadi two stages from Mecca on the way to Medina. Muslim transmitted it.

‘Abd ar-Rahman b. ‘Auf reported God’s messenger as saying,“One who fasts in Ramadan while travelling is like one who breaks his fast when not travelling.”Ibn Majah transmitted it.

Hamza b. ‘Amr al-Aslami told God’s messenger that he found himself strong enough to fast while travelling and asked whether it would be wrong for him to do so. He was told that licence had been given by God who is great and glorious, so that if anyone acted upon this he did well, but if anyone wished to fast he would not be guilty of sin. Muslim transmitted it.

‘A'isha said that when she had some part of the fast of Ramadan to make up she would be able to do so only in Sha'ban. Yahya b. Sa'id said she meant this was due to her being kept from it by her duty to the Prophet. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying,“It is not allowable for a woman to fast when her husband is present without his permission,* and she may not allow anyone to enter his house without his permission.”*This refers not to Ramadan, but to a supererogatory fast. Muslim transmitted it.

Mu'adha al-‘Adawiya said that when she asked ‘A'isha why one who has been menstruating must make up for her fast but not for her prayer, she replied,“That happened to us, and we were ordered to make up for the fast, but were not ordered to make up for the prayer.”Muslim transmitted it.

‘A'isha reported God’s messenger as saying,“If anyone dies when some fast due from him has been unfulfilled, his heir must fast on his behalf.”(Bukhari and Muslim.)

Nafi‘, on Ibn ‘Umar’s authority, reported the Prophet as saying,“If anyone dies when fasting in the month of Ramadan has been unfulfilled by him, a poor man should be fed on his behalf in place of every day.”Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying that correctly this goes no farther back than Ibn ‘Umar.

Malik said he heard that Ibn ‘Umar used to be asked whether one might fast or pray on behalf of another, and reply,“One may neither fast nor pray on behalf of another.”He transmitted it in al-Muwatta’.
