Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The presenter:
Naif is with us, please go ahead, Naif.

The questioner:
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.

The presenter:
And upon you be peace and Allah's mercy.

The questioner:
I have a question, Shaykh, regarding travel. Is the distance fixed at eighty-three, meaning it must exceed eighty-three, and is it obligatory for you to shorten and combine? This is the first question. The second question

The presenter:
Yes, the second question.

The questioner:
The second question: Does combining and shortening apply for four days? After four days, do you complete the prayer, even if you are not near a building or a mosque congregation? The third question: May Allah reward you with good. Regarding dyeing and covering the beard, the dye sometimes turns black or leans toward black. Is it permissible?

The presenter:
Okay, thank you. Is the distance eighty-three in travel, Honorable Shaykh, or must the duration be fulfilled?

The Shaykh:
The distance is eighty, not eighty-three. Eighty kilometers, meaning two stages, each stage being forty kilometers. This is the distance of travel; the total is eighty kilometers.
