Is it alright for a person to travel every day before Dhuhr Salaat during the holy Month of Ramadhan to avoid fasting? The Grand Ayatollah Fayyaz’s answer

SHAFAQNA – The Grand Ayatollah Fayyaz [1] answered a question about travelling during the holy Month of Ramadhan.

Question: Is it Haram for a person to travel the religious distance* every day of Ramadhan in order to avoid fasting?

The Grand Ayatollah Fayyaz: It is allowed to travel during the blessed Month of Ramadhan even if it is to escape fasting in the blessed Month of Ramadhan; although in this case, the believer will lose a great reward.
