It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنه) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) travelled in Ramadan during the year of the conquest. He fasted until he reached 'Usfan, then he called for a vessel and drank during the day so that the people would see him.

So whoever wants to may fast and whoever wants to may not fast.
