The questioner : And the condition of the built-up area regarding combining and shortening: is it leaving the built-up area or seeing the built-up area? Is this mentioned or not?
The Shaykh : Of course, this is the Arabic meaning; because "safir" (traveler) means "baraza" (emerged).
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So when he emerges from his built-up area, the ruling of travel begins to apply to him. But if he is still there; I mean, for example, in some capital cities like London or Cairo, a person might drive by car one hundred, two hundred, or three hundred kilometers.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And he is still in his country; this is not a traveler.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : He is not a traveler, so it is necessary to always define the matter of travel by leaving the boundaries of his town, whether his town is a village or a capital, the ruling is the same. So when he emerges, the rulings of travel apply to him.
