The Ruling on Not Taking the Dispensations in a Long Journey
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! What is the ruling on one who does not take the dispensations in travel if the journey is long, given the existence of cars and airplanes today? Please inform us of this.
Answer:
It is contrary to the Sunnah. Allah loves that His dispensations be taken. This is contrary to the Sunnah. One should use the dispensations that Allah has permitted, such as combining the two prayers, shortening the prayer, and breaking the fast in Ramadan. One should take the dispensations and not make things difficult for oneself. The texts are general and did not specify the means of transport; rather, they were left open in that regard for every time and place according to its circumstances. Yes.
