In the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, “and he walked and did not ride,” does the one who rides a car out of need receive the reward of the hadith?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, “and he walked and did not ride,” he says: If a person rides a car out of need, does that negate the reward associated with this hadith?

Answer:
Out of need? What kind of need? If he is unable to walk or if walking would be too tiring for him, then he is excused, and he receives the reward of walking, if Allah wills. But if he is in good health and able to walk, he does not receive the reward of walking. Yes.
