Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Abi Dawud 2607Hasan (Al-Albani), he asks: Is a traveler alone in the modern era considered to fall under this hadith?
Answer:
Yes, because the hadith is general until the Day of Resurrection. So he should not travel alone, because if an accident were to befall him, or if he were to encounter a problem, or if he were to suffer from fainting or something else, there must be a second person with him to help him and take his place. Yes.
