1971 - وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَخْرُجُ يُشَيِّعُ أَخَاهُ مَسِيرَةَ يَوْمَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاَثَةٍ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَلْيُفْطِرْ» فَسُئِلَ أَيُّهُمَا أَفْضَلُ يُقِيمُ وَ يَصُومُ أَوْ يُشَيِّعُهُ قَالَ «يُشَيِّعُهُ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَضَعَ اَلصَّوْمَ عَنْهُ إِذَا شَيَّعَهُ».
Hadith.1971 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq 
was asked about a man who sets out to accompany his brother on a journey for two or three days.
Imam said: "If it is during the Month of Ramadan, let him break his fast."
He was then asked: "Which is better, for him to stay and fast or to accompany his brother?"
Imam replied: "To accompany him, for Allah (swt), the Almighty, has exempted him from fasting when he accompanies his brother."
