Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, you mentioned (may Allah preserve you) in your explanation of travel lasting more than six months that it is the previous four months, plus one month for the journey there and one month for the return. So, do we say that in this time, where means of transportation and communication have become fast, we revert to just the four months? This is what was reported from the Salaf (the earliest generations) that it is six months, and it is what 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) imposed.
Answer:
As long as Allah has given him this duration, we do not restrict him. Yes.
