The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it a condition for the journey in which the prayer is shortened that its distance be eighty kilometers?
The Shaykh:
Without a doubt, this is the view of the majority. Some of them say no, not more than three nights for the mount, three days for the mount.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible for a woman to travel? Three days in some hadiths, in some hadiths, yes, a two-day journey, and in some hadiths, it was not restricted to days; she travels only with a mahram (a relative one may not marry), which indicates both short and long travel. Therefore, it is not permissible to limit the travel to eighty kilometers in that case, because a two-day journey for the mount is not two full days. The mount does not travel for a full day; it travels from the beginning of the day to Dhuhr, which is one stage, from Fajr to Dhuhr, which is forty kilometers. On the second day, it is the same, forty kilometers. The total is eighty kilometers. Yes, the mount cannot travel more than forty kilometers in a day. Yes.
