1758. It is Mustahab for the following persons that even if they may
not be fasting, they should refrain from those acts in the month of Ramadhan
which invalidate a fast:
A traveller who has committed an act during his journey which makes a
fast void and reaches his hometown before Zuhr, or the place where he
intends to stay for ten days.
A traveller who reaches home after Zuhr or at a place where he intends
to stay for ten days. The same rule applies if he reaches such places before
Zuhr and if he has already broken his fast while journeying.
A patient who recovers after Zuhr or even if he recovers before noon,
though he may have committed acts which invalidate fast. And if he has not
committed any such act, then his obligation has been explained in rule no.
1576.
A woman who becomes Pak from Haidh or Nifas during day time.
1759. It is Mustahab that a person breaks his fast after offering
Maghrib and Isha prayers. However, if he feels terribly inclined to eat, so much
that he cannot concentrate on the prayers, or if someone is waiting for him, it
is better that he should break his fast first and offer the prayers later.
However, as far as possible, he should try to offer the prayers during the prime
time (Fadheelat).
