The Ruling on Travel Between Two Connected Cities
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If there are two cities that are almost connected, and I have traveled from my city, do I enter into the rulings of travel after I leave my city, or after the other city that is connected to it?
Answer:
If they are connected, then no. But if there is a space of eighty kilometers between them, a space with no buildings belonging to either of the two countries, then there is no harm; you shorten the prayer for travel. Yes.
