Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Is severe traffic congestion in a city like Riyadh, for example, a dispensation for not responding to an invitation, where it sometimes takes an hour to go to that feast and another hour to return?

Answer:
If there is hardship, then hardship is an excuse. If there is hardship or danger on the road, that is an excuse.
