Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Is embracing with the salam done after travel, or is it also done after a long absence?

Answer:
What you heard is that if one returns from a journey. A long absence is negated; it is not a journey. How can there be an absence when it is not a journey?
