Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: My family is in a city two hundred kilometers from Riyadh, and I am studying in Riyadh, residing with my maternal aunt in their house, eating and drinking with them. When Wednesday comes, I go to them and return on Friday afternoon. Where is my place of residence? Is it in Riyadh, or with my family? Knowing that I am residing in Riyadh in a house
The Shaykh:
I pray four rak'ahs, and with your family you pray four rak'ahs, as long as you are not moving. If you come, you pray four rak'ahs, because you came and stayed, and in the country you pray four rak'ahs, because you intend to stay for more than four days, so you pray four rak'ahs. This student prays four rak'ahs in the country, and with his family, all of them, and praise be to Allah,
The questioner:
In the end, we extend our special thanks and gratitude to Your Eminence, the Shaykh, our father, 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Baz, and we ask Allah by His most beautiful names and His exalted attributes to bless us with his life and to benefit us with his knowledge, for He is capable of all things. We console you; let us speak for five minutes.
The Shaykh:
Or ten minutes, if Allah wills.
