What is travel in the Shari'ah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The definition of travel? Or what is travel linguistically and in the Shari'ah?
The Shaykh : Linguistically and in the Shari'ah. Linguistically, it is: leaving the buildings of the town in which one resides. Do you understand?
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Leaving the buildings of the town in which one resides. As for in the Shari'ah: it is any departure accompanied by the intention of travel, which necessitates a preparation different from that of a resident. The traveler, without a doubt, prepares specifically for his travel, not as a resident does. The first of these is the intention. And you, in your current reality, I do not think any of you intended travel for this trip. None of you bid farewell to a child or a wife as a traveler does. Nor did you prepare as a traveler does. Nor is there any of the matters that truly accompany travel.
This is what can be said regarding travel in the Shari'ah. Knowing that there is a very long disagreement in this issue from ancient times until today, due to the precision of the matter and the lack of a clear, decisive explanation that resolves the dispute in the evidence of the Book and the Sunnah. But this is what is stronger in our view regarding the definition of travel in the Shari'ah. Please proceed.
