Hadith.1971 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) was asked about a man who sets out to accompany his brother on a journey for two or three days. Imam (as) said: "If it is during the Month of Ramadan, let him break his fast." He was then asked: "Which is better, for him to stay and fast or to accompany his brother?" Imam (as) replied: "To accompany him, for Allah (swt), the Almighty, has exempted him from fasting when he accompanies his brother."
