Peace be upon you.
His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may Allah protect them):
It is not a condition for someone whose work involves travel to receive financial compensation for their work. If a person is performing volunteer work and it is considered travel, and all other conditions for the work, such as the intention of continuity, are also met, then they must complete their prayers and fast.
For more details, you can refer to Question 1240.
May you be successful in all good.
