The ruling on one who resides in a country for study and travels to his family
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
How do I reside? I reside there and work there, and my family is in another distant area. Sometimes I travel, and my son is in a state of weekly travel, so I advise him to travel to his family's area, meaning that this is specific to him.
The Shaykh:
If your place of residence is always in Riyadh, and you only go to your family for a visit, and otherwise you are a resident of Riyadh, then if you travel to your family, you are considered a traveler. However, if the situation is the opposite, and your place of residence is with your family in your home country, and you only come to Riyadh for the purpose of study and are not settled there, then you are a traveler, unless you reside in Riyadh for a period exceeding four days, in which case you take the rulings of a resident. Yes.
