713. Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī narrated: "We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. Some of us were fasting and some of us broke their fast. The one who broke the fast had no objection to the one who fasted, and the one who fasted had no objection to the one who broke his fast. They saw that whoever had the strength to fast then that was good, and whoever was weak, then breaking it was better." (Saḥīh) (Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Hasan Saḥīh.)
٧١٣ - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ. (ح) وَحَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ وَكِيعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: «كُنَّا نُسَافِرُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَمِنَّا الصَّائِمُ وَمِنَّا الْمُفْطِرُ»، فَلَا يَجِدُ الْمُفْطِرُ عَلَى الصَّائِمِ وَلَا الصَّائِمُ عَلَى الْمُفْطِرِ، فَكَانُوا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ وَجَدَ قُوَّةً فَصَامَ فَحَسَنٌ، وَمَنْ وَجَدَ ضَعْفًا فَأَفْطَرَ فَحَسَنٌ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The truth is that the current position and circumstance will be taken into consideration, if there is a chance of combating and fighting the enemies and power is demanded, or the fasting will cause much difficulty and hardship, or there is a fear of showing off, or one in state of fasting will be a burden on others, or there is a possibility of turning away from the permission given by the Sharī'ah, or other people will take his example to follow, it is then better not to fast. If observing fast does not involve difficulty and hardship, neither is there a risk of harm, or there is a fear of not making it up later, or he has the facility and provision of fasting along with his colleagues, in this case fasting is better.
