The questioner : Which hadith? The hadith about the young man’s face. In any case, for example, regarding expatriates, we say, for example, that it is a recommended practice (sunnah) to return immediately; most of them finish their stay.
The Shaykh : The hastening: every traveler, whether for Hajj, 'Umrah, visiting, trade, or seeking knowledge, once he is finished, it is not permissible for anyone to...
The questioner : Do we take from this hadith that a person is forbidden from traveling to the sky? And we exit.
The Shaykh : No, that is not taken from it, but it is taken from it that if he has finished his purpose, let him return.
The questioner : Who took the custom of traveling? Yes.
The Shaykh : No, if his family is with him and he has no family in his home country, there is nothing wrong with it. Then, he also hastens when he has fulfilled his need. For example, if he came to seek knowledge, when does he finish? If a specific time is set, we say that when the time ends, he returns to his family. If no time is set, he stays. Even tourism, if his family is with him, it does not matter. But we hold that tourism, first, a person should not go. And second, if he does go, he should not delay too long, even if his family is with him.
