Traveling as a Portion of Suffering
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah bless you. We conclude this session with a question in which the questioner says: In our present time, traveling has become easy and enjoyable, but I read that traveling is a portion of suffering. How is that?
Answer:
Yes, even if it is enjoyable, whether by car or by plane, it involves hardship. For this reason, Allah has established specific rulings for the traveler: he breaks his fast in Ramadan, shortens the prayer, and combines the two prayers, because traveling is a portion of suffering, as stated in the hadith.
