After a few days, I will be travelling home in India on vacation. As you may be aware India declares Ramadan a day after Gulf states. So my question is can I skip one fast on the day I am travelling and continue fasting in India until last day of Ramadan as my skipped fast will balance out because I started fasting a day earlier. Or do I have to make up for the day I missed fasting?<br \/>\n\tOne more thing I would like to ask is mandatory to avail concession of skipping the fast while travelling or can I fast while travelling if I can bear it in travel.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>Answer<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"color:#000000;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;\">In principle, it is not compulsory for a person to fast in <em>Ramadhan<\/em> whilst travelling a distance of 78km (48 miles) or more.
