Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My brother came from al-Sadir ... to our house.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : He has an apartment or two apartments, but he did not bring his wife.
The Shaykh : Why?
The questioner : He did not bring his wife; he came alone.
The Shaykh : That is not important, yes.
The questioner : I mean, he intends to stay for two or three days. We told him, "You are coming to your house," and he said, "No, I am a traveler." What is the ruling in this case? He is coming to his house now, his mother's and father's house, and he knows ...
The Shaykh : You are saying, "I told them, 'Come to your house,'" and you said, "No, I am a traveler."
The questioner : We said, "No," and we told them, "Stay," and he said, "No, I will pray two rak'ahs; I am a traveler."
The Shaykh : Yes, I did not hear the answer. Do you say that he intends to stay, or not?
The questioner : That he is coming to his house.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : He is coming to his house.
The Shaykh : Does he have a house here?
The questioner : Yes, his house, yes, my lord.
The Shaykh : Ah, he has two houses.
The questioner : Yes, a house here.
The Shaykh : No, this is a mistake in two ways. First, because he returned to his house, and second, even if it were not his house, he has already intended to stay.
The questioner : One day, two days.
The Shaykh : The number of days does not concern me; what concerns me is whether he intends to stay or not.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : He has an apartment or two apartments, but he did not bring his wife.
