    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 1398/1011/D=1433) There is concession in fast during journey. It is also allowable not to keep fast in journey and make its qaza later. However, it is also lawful to fast in journey if there is no problem due to fast in journey. In short both the options are available.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
