Chapter: The Case of One Who Begins a Journey or Returns from a Journey in the Month of Ramadan 9ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ قَالَ فِي الْ٠ُسَافِرِ الَّذِي يَدْخُلُ أَهْلَهُ فِي شَهْرِ رَ٠َضَانَ وَقَدْ أَكَلَ قَبْلَ دُخُولِهِ قَالَ يَكُفُّ عَنِ الأَكْلِ بَقِيَّةَ يَوْ٠ِهِ وَعَلَيْهِ الْقَضَاءُ وَقَالَ فِي الْ٠ُسَافِرِ يَدْخُلُ أَهْلَهُ وَهُوَ جُنُبٌ قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ وَلَ٠ْ يَكُنْ أَكَلَ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُتِ٠َهُ وَلا قَضَاءَ عَلَيْهِ يَعْنِي إِذَا كَانَتْ جَنَابَتُهُ ٠9.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Ubayd from Yunus who has said the following: “He (the Imam) (a.s.), about a man who arrives from a journey in his family in the month of Ramadan and has already used food before his arrival, he (the Imam) said, that he must abstain from eating for the rest of the day and he is required to complete its Qada’ (compensatory fasting).’ About a traveler who arrives in his family before Zawal (declining of the sun toward the west at noontime) and has not used any food but has experienced a wet dream, he is required to complete that fast.

He is not required to carry out Qada’ (compensatory fast) for it, that is, if his experience is because of wet dream.’” صحيح على الظاهر - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/336))
