Question:
May Allah reward you. Divorce is also among his questions. He says: In the hadithSunan Abi Dawud 2607Hasan (Al-Albani) In this time, Honorable Shaykh, we see that as we travel on long roads, we pass by people and cars from time to time. What is the meaning of that?
Answer:
The hadith, on its apparent meaning, indicates that it is not permissible for a person to travel alone, nor for two people to travel together, because if a quarrel or disagreement arises between them, who will restrain one from the other? And if one is alone and something befalls him, who will take charge of him and attend to him? He exposes himself to destruction. However, if they are three, they form a group that cooperates and helps one another. As for the matter of the well-known roads today, which are like streets with their stations, towns, and villages, this alleviates the solitude of travel. Nevertheless, the hadith remains applicable, requiring that he be accompanied by a group, even if he is on such roads.
May Allah reward you. Divorce is also among his questions. He says: In the hadith
A single rider is a devil, and a pair of riders are a pair of devils, but three are a company of riders.
