Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)Sahih Muslim 2708b, 2709a The question is: Is this dwelling specific to travel, or is it any dwelling a person occupies?
Answer:
Yes, it is for every dwelling a person enters, but it is specifically emphasized while traveling. I say that travel has a special status, and it becomes more emphasized while traveling. If one says it in a dwelling in the city, there is nothing wrong with that.
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, in the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
When any one of you stays at a place, he should say:" I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allah from the evil of that He created."
إذا نزل أحدكم منزلا فليقل أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلقAnswer:
