Hadith record

2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from al-‘Amrakiy ibn Ali from Ali ibn Ja’far who has said the following: “I once asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.), about a man who finds himself in the month of Ramadan during a journey and stays at a place for few days, if he is required to fast. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, he is not obligated to fast until he decides to stay for ten days. Once he makes such a decision, he is then required to fast and must perform his Salat (prayer) complete.’ I then asked him (the Imam) (a.s.), about a man who owes several days fast of the month of Ramadan, if he can carry out Qada’ (compensatory fast) of such fast at a place where he has decided to stay. He (the Imam) said, ‘No, until he decides to stay at a place for ten days.’”
