Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Some of the brothers ask about what is called the shabakah, which has become popular among wives recently.
The Shaykh:
The matter is broad; these are ordinary affairs that involve nothing, he says. They are ordinary affairs that have no connection to acts of worship. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
If the marriage contract has been completed, there is nothing wrong with it. If the contract has been completed, it does no harm. Or if the contract has been completed, there is nothing wrong with it; she is his wife. Yes.
Another questioner:
Yes, that is right.
The Shaykh:
For men, it is not permissible, yes. Yes. If he travels for an excursion of eighty kilometers or more, it is considered travel. Yes.
The questioner:
Even if he returns on the same day.
The Shaykh:
Even if he returns on the same day. Yes. If he does not intend to stay for four days, he shortens and combines the prayers, unless he is alone; no, if he is alone, he prays with the people for four [units] and does not pray alone, for the congregation is obligatory.
