The questioner : The Shari'ah-prescribed period for a married man who is traveling?
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : The Shari'ah-prescribed period for a married man who is traveling?
The Shaykh: The period?
The questioner: The period, O Shaykh, the Shari'ah-prescribed period during which it is permissible for a man to be absent from his wife?
The Shaykh: This varies, may Allah bless you, from one man to another. A man might, I mean, he has—wait a moment, by Allah, wait a moment—
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh: And peace be upon you, how are you?
The questioner: May Allah strengthen you.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills, well?
The questioner: By Allah, 'Abd al-Rahman, many people are very pleased with you.
The Shaykh: Yes, may Allah reward you with good.
The questioner: He has good prospects below.
The Shaykh: May Allah bless you, we ask Allah for that. I have a brother who came to me from Damascus.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: Yesterday, and he is afflicted with tremors.
The questioner: Oh, trembling, shaking?
The Shaykh : And pain in his knee.
The questioner: Let him come to us.
The Shaykh: And he has tremors in his knee as well, and he cannot walk except with great difficulty.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh: And now he is with me.
The questioner: All right.
The Shaykh : And his coming to you is not like my coming to you.
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : And therefore...
The questioner: I was thinking of something else!
The Shaykh: Do not think, just listen, oh, so it is difficult for him to come to you.
The questioner: All right.
The Shaykh: Even so, if it is not feasible for you to come to me, and the distance is only a few kilometers, and perhaps you know the house?
The questioner: I, if Allah wills, will be able to stay with you until next Friday, or should I not go?
The Shaykh: By Allah, that is what I did not understand, in any case.
The questioner: We will call!
The Shaykh: How? We will call.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner: We will call and ask if he is traveling, I will go to him.
The Shaykh : May Allah reward you with good.
The questioner : With Allah's permission.
The Shaykh: May Allah reward you with good, thank you.
The questioner : May Allah keep you safe, welcome.
