What is the distance that is considered travel, for which a person is granted the dispensations of travel?

Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is it correct that what reaches eighty kilometers is considered travel? And what is the criterion for the one who says that travel is what people call travel? Even though today a man travels more than a hundred kilometers and it is not considered travel because the place is close by car?

Answer:
The travel in which the prayer is shortened, according to the Hanbalis, is what reaches two stages of two days for the mount. Each stage is forty kilometers; the mount walks forty kilometers from Fajr to Zuhr. They took this and cited as evidence the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him):
So the two days of travel are eighty kilometers for the mount. This is the basis of their definition with this. As for the one who says that travel is what is called travel, this does not give us a result. Who calls it travel? People differ on this. We must have a criterion. Either it is not called travel, or one person calls the short distance travel and another calls the long distance travel; they differ on this. A criterion is necessary. Yes.
