Question:
He also asks in his questions: Shaykh Salih, is it necessary for a person to take advantage of the dispensations while traveling? And if he does not take advantage of them, does he thereby contradict the Sunnah in this matter?
Answer:
The dispensations in travel that Allah has permitted, such as breaking the fast during the day in Ramadan, shortening the four-unit prayer, combining two prayers, and wiping over the leather socks for three days and their nights—these are the legal dispensations in travel. Taking advantage of them is better than adhering to the default ruling. If he does not take advantage of the dispensation, his worship is valid, but it is contrary to what is best. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
