Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Whoever prays for forty days and catches the first takbir, he will have two guarantees: safety from the Fire and safety from hypocrisy." I want to apply this hadith, but every week or two weeks I travel to my family in another city, and I am unable to catch the first takbir; rather, I pray with those who are with me. So how do I fulfill this hadith while traveling?
Answer:
Travel is an exception. If you travel, you are exempt, and you have your intention. You have what you intended, if Allah wills. And travel is an excuse.
