Dispensations for travel when visiting one’s father in one’s home country
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When I travel from my place of residence to my home country to visit my father, I stay with him for two or three days. Am I permitted to avail myself of the dispensations for travel?
Answer:
No, as long as you have not left this country with a permanent departure, meaning you are staying there and will return to it, it is your base. So if you come to it, you do not shorten the prayer because it is your country, yes. And you do not break your fast in Ramadan because it is your country, yes.
