Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also asks: What is it, and what is its equivalent in kilometers? And what is the distance of travel for which one shortens the prayer?

Answer:
It is as mentioned previously: a distance of two days of travel, as stated by the majority of scholars. In terms of kilometers, it is approximately seventy to eighty kilometers; because the distance varies depending on the means of transport, such as horses or camels. What was equivalent to two days by horse or camel is now equivalent to seventy or eighty kilometers, or a distance close to that. Yes.
