Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I live in a village, and the nearest city to my village is about ten kilometers away. So, if I leave my village and reach this city, am I entitled to shorten the prayer and break my fast?

The Shaykh:
What is the distance between?

The questioner:
Ten kilometers.

The Shaykh:
No, my brother, it is from eighty kilometers or more. As for ten kilometers, no. It is like the outskirts of the town, close by. Yes.
