Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Does “qari'at al-tariq” (a road that is heavily traveled) include places where the passage of cars has become frequent, such as a road for cars in the desert? Does that fall under this?
Answer:
Car roads are more dangerous. Cars come and hit you, or it is dark and the driver does not see you. This is more dangerous than animals. Do not pray on car roads, do not sit on them, and do not sleep on them. Yes.
