The Preference of Taking the Dispensations of Travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This question asks: What is the ruling on one who does not take the dispensations of travel when he travels, for example, from Riyadh to Dammam or from Riyadh to Ta'if?
The Shaykh:
Any travel.
The questioner:
He says: If I travel, for example, from Riyadh to Dammam.
The Shaykh:
He takes it.
The questioner:
For example, he traveled from Riyadh to Dammam or from Riyadh.
The Shaykh:
If you permit me. Yes. I say: If he travels from Riyadh to Dammam, this is a distance for shortening the prayer. It is better for him to act upon the dispensations, meaning he shortens the four-rak'ah prayer and combines the two prayers while traveling. This is better for him, because Allah, Mighty and Majestic, loves that His dispensations be taken, just as He dislikes that His sins be committed. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
