Is it permissible to avail oneself of the dispensations of travel for one who has relatives who provide for him with everything?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The sixth question, O Hasan. The sixteenth: A man lives in Dammam, and he has relatives in Makkah. When he comes to them, they provide for him with everything, until it is as if he is in his own residence. Does this allow him to avail himself of the dispensations of travel, such as breaking the fast, shortening the prayer, wiping over the socks, and others, or not?

The Shaykh : Yes, yes. We should know that the dispensations of travel have only one cause, which is travel. Although the original basis for these dispensations is that travel is a place of hardship, this cause has ceased to exist, and the indicator has been made, if Allah wills, the ruling is tied to travel. Allah Blessed and Exalted is He said: "And when you travel in the land, there is no sin upon you." Meaning:
for shortening the prayer, [especially] if you fear that those who disbelieve may disrupt [or attack] youأَن تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَن يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا
[An-Nisa 4:101]
. Compressed. So Allah made the cause the circumstance of the land, from the land. As for His saying
[especially] if you fear that those who disbelieve may disrupt [or attack] youإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَن يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا
[An-Nisa 4:101]
, this condition has been fulfilled by Allah for His servants, so He granted them from it, as established in the hadith of 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Naturally. And on this basis, the traveler... this...
...avails himself of the dispensations of travel. Look. Even if he travels by plane, plane. And even if he gets off the plane in a comfortable car, comfortable. And even if he also gets off in a comfortable house, exercise. The dispensation of travel remains valid for him. But it must be known, yes, that the one who is in the town, born, and he is a traveler, last. It is obligatory upon him to attend the congregational prayer. O people. And if he attends the congregational prayer, it is obligatory upon him, upon him to complete it. And by this we know, is there a mistake on you, what some of the common people do. When I order and say, come in, pray. Yes. He says, I am a traveler, there is no... this is not a cause. In the name of Allah. Because travel does not establish the obligation of the congregation. Complete. So here is the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying to Allah in the state of fear. Welcome.
And when you are among them and lead them in prayer, let a group of them stand [in prayer] with youوَإِذَا كُنتَ فِيهِمْ فَأَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلَاةَ فَلْتَقُمْ طَائِفَةٌ مِّنْهُم مَّعَكَ
[An-Nisa 4:102]
. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not come to him fear while he was in Madinah, iron. The utmost of that is that fear came to them at the Trench, point. And he was on the outskirts of Madinah. The important thing is that my answer to this question is that we say the traveler avails himself of the dispensation of travel even if he is in the easiest and simplest of conditions. Days. Even the Friday prayer is obligatory upon the traveler if he is in the town. Welcome. Okay, O people. May Allah protect you. O people. O people. Oral questions are prohibited.

The questioner : And the second, since you said that he avails himself of the dispensations of travel, what are the dispensations of travel? Dispensations of Egypt.

The Shaykh : And breaking the fast, breaking the fast. And wiping over the socks for three days. Now. He does not hold back if he takes. No, no, it is obligatory upon the one who hears the call to answer the call. Yes. Even if they are in the house, even if they are a group, yes.
