Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: Here ... .
The Shaykh: So your origin is from here?
The questioner: No, I am from Kuwait.
The Shaykh: Your origin is from Kuwait and you are married here, okay.
The questioner: I will stay here for a month.
The Shaykh: Did you not ask me this question by phone?
The questioner: When?
Another questioner: No, Abu Abdullah, you just come here.
The questioner: I did not ask.
The Shaykh: I received a question like this two or three days ago.
The questioner: No, it was not me.
The Shaykh: It was not you.
The questioner: No, it was not me.
The Shaykh: Okay, when you come here, if you intend to reside, you are a resident; and if you do not intend to reside, you are a traveler.
The questioner: How do I intend to reside?
The Shaykh: The meaning of intending to reside is, as it is said, "Opposites clarify things." The one who does not intend to reside is the one who says, "Tomorrow I will travel," or "No, the day after tomorrow," and so on; he is not settled.
The questioner: Not settled, yes.
The Shaykh: Do you understand how? If he is settled, that means he intends to reside and falls under the ruling of a resident; but if he remains hesitant, traveling today, traveling tomorrow, or if his travel is not facilitated for tomorrow but for the day after, and so on, he remains under the ruling of a traveler.
The questioner: What if the hesitation is for a month?
The Shaykh: Whatever it is, even if it is months, is that clear?
The questioner: Right now, for example, I will shorten the prayer or reside for a month? Am I residing for a month?
The Shaykh: My brother, is there hesitation in the residence, or did you resolve to reside for a month?
The questioner: I resolved, I resolved.
The Shaykh: Then you are a resident.
The questioner: A resident, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh: You want to manage people and gather them.
