Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Why did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) first go to the Cave of Thawr during his migration?
Answer:
In order to hide there, because it was the closest place, and in order to confuse them about the direction. To confuse them as to the direction; they thought he had gone north, while he was hiding in a place to the south. Yes. This is part of the stratagem.
