The distance of travel and how to feed the poor

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Travel has a limited distance in kilometers. Travel has a limit, may Allah reward you for your good deeds.

The Shaykh:
On the day of the announcement, the mount was about eighty kilometers.

The questioner:
But what about this?

The Shaykh:
About eighty kilometers. Less than this. From your town. If it is less than that, a little, two or three kilometers, that is fine. It is a rough estimate. Because the limit is an approximation.

The questioner:
As for feeding, may Allah reward you, do we give it to them dry, or do we feed them a meal for a poor person?

The Shaykh:
If he eats it, there is no harm. If you feed him dry food, there is no harm. Half a meal, half a meal. You give him dinner and breakfast, and give him half a plate. You feed him dinner and breakfast. Or you give him, or, or. It does not mean. Or expensive. Meaning dinner and breakfast. This is one breakfast that is enough for him, or one dinner that is enough for him. May Allah reward you, my dear.
