Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. In the lesson on Bulugh al-Maram last week regarding the specification of the distance for shortening the prayer while traveling, you said that from the perspective of evidence, not specifying it is clearer, and from the perspective of meaning, specifying it is more precise. What is the stronger position in this matter? Is it specifying it or not specifying it?
Answer:
The stronger position is to specify it. Because if we went with not specifying it, there would be no travel in this age due to fast planes and jets. There is no travel in this age; the distances between countries and lands have become close. Yes.
