Question:
The questioner says: In the statement of Allah the Exalted,[Al-Mulk 67:15], you previously stated with us that the command here is for permissibility. So what is the factor that diverts it from being obligatory?
Answer:
No one has said that it is obligatory for you to walk on the earth and travel. No one has said that. This is for permissibility.
The questioner says: In the statement of Allah the Exalted,
so walk among its slopes and eat of His provision
فَامْشُوا فِي مَنَاكِبِهَا وَكُلُوا مِن رِّزْقِهِAnswer:
No one has said that it is obligatory for you to walk on the earth and travel. No one has said that. This is for permissibility.
