 و أقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله و أقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي و لا أتأوله و أنهم يبدوا أن يكونون أفضلهم الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على عبد الله ورسوله نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجماله أحد الأشياء هو أننا نحاولنا من وقت إلى وقت ولكن الناس يجب أن نحاول أن نفهم أفضلهم فالأشياء الأول is to understand what makes a person a traveler what is it that makes a traveler a traveler and what it brings a person into the ruling of traveling فالأشياء الأول we are going to look at is that we are going to look at the distance that a person has to intend to travel كما لا نرى أن يرسل هذا الوقت they are currently just open the door of their house و flown out the door of the house. What is the distance for which a person has to be pretending to travel for it to be considered traveling? So let me give you an example. I opened the door of my house and I intend to visit my next door neighbor. Am I traveling? I think we all agree that I'm not traveling in that situation. Okay I opened the door of my house and my intention is to visit my mother, who lives 10 منطان في الوصول. هل هذا المساعدة؟ أعتقد أننا نقلت بأن هذا ليس مساعدة. الآن لا يوجد مدينة التي يمكنك أن تقول أن ، أو at least في my my opinion ، there is a مدينة التي يمكنك أن تقول أن هذا ، you know, this is on the dot the distance. لكن أنت تعتقد أنك ترى في مكان في المجانة 45 إلى 50 ميلا. في المجانة يمكنك أن يكون 80 كيلومتر أو يمكنك أن تقوم with what the people understand to be traveling and what is considered to be traveling generally speaking is a common understanding that this is a journey I'm traveling in but roughly if you wanted to put an amount on it somewhere in that region but I don't think it's the case that 44 miles is not traveling and 45 miles is traveling it is a approximation to help you but what really matters is what is actually commonly in the roof of the people considered to be traveling within the roof of the people in the common understanding of people what is considered to be traveling so typically I think all of us would agree someone traveling 100 miles or 150 kilometers for example is traveling generally speaking someone I open the door of my house and I'm intending to go to a city that is 100 miles or 150 kilometers away I think pretty much everybody would agree that that is that that is traveling distance is less than that will probably be subject to some differences of opinion and if you feel confused then you can use a rough guide of about 50 miles or so around about 80 kilometers or so as a rough guide but generally speaking it just depends on what is commonly understood to be traveling okay so that's a distance now I open the door of my house when does the ruling of traveling start so it starts once I have left the built up area of my town or city so when I'm in my city there are all you know houses and they're all together and so break some more houses eventually the houses finish and there is nothing but plain land plain fields or plain desert or you know open land at that point with my intention of traveling for example 100 miles or 150 kilometers that's my intention to travel all the way there as soon as I leave my city and the land becomes open and the built up area the area of the houses ceases and I can start to apply the ruling of the travel so when I start to apply the ruling of the traveler what sort of rulings am I talking about well first of all it is permitted for me to break my fast if I wish the scholars of Islam they say if it is easier for you to fast you should continue fasting if you can and if it's difficult for you to fast it's better for you to break your fast however you have the choice to do either and also the permissibility of shortening the prayers and the permissibility of joining between the prayers shortening the prayers and joining between ض ي and اصر and separately joining between مغرب and اشا or at or at time or at my time or at time and as for shortening the prayers it is أن كل محاولة يكون لأكتبات ركحة فأرأسة يكون لأكتبات ركحة وأشعار يكون لأكتبات لا يوجد مغل ونجد مغل فأنا في هذا المحاول سأذهب إلى محاولة 100 ميلا or 150 كيلومتر وفي هذا المحاول أوقفت أسفل وأتبع أسفل وأتبع أسفل وأتبع أسفل هذا هو ما أخبرني عندما أدخل في هذا المحاول أعرف مغل هل يجب أن أتبع أسفل أو هل أصبح أسفل من هذا المحاول هنا نظر أسفل 100 ميلا 150 كيلومتر أدخل في المحاول هل يجب أن أتبع أسفل أو هل أتبع أسفل على كيف أخبرني هنا بعض الأسفل ما they looked at هو that they looked at the majority they looked at the time the time that you intend to stay بعضهم قلت four days بعضهم قلت up to 15 days بعضهم قلت more than that for the time that you're intending to stay if you're intending to stay longer than that then as soon as you reach that city you're no longer a traveler because your intention is to stay longer and others they as we said they differed over the length others they looked at it differently they said if you are in that city living as a traveler behaving as a traveler you're carrying your things in suitcases and you're living out the suitcase and you know you are without your permanent residence and so on then you remain a traveler even if you go longer than that period of time that's a matter of the scholars differed over generally speaking and in my opinion here what is correct is the either we go with a longer period of time we say that roughly as a guide again a guide of a couple of weeks a guide of a couple of weeks however if you were to go longer than that and you still are behaving as a traveler I think it's still correct so you now have intended to stay let's say 10 days so you're still a traveler you're still a traveler in that time however while you're a traveler at that time it is better for you not to join the prayers if you can pray them individually even though you're a traveler because right now you're in this city you're there for 10 days so it's better you pray your prayers individually of course if you're praying behind an Imam who is resident you need to pray full even if you come late for the prayer you need to pray completely and you need to pray fully not shortened but if you're praying by yourself pray shortened and generally speaking you pray each prayer on time but if you join between them from time to time while you are a traveler there then that is fine if it soon turns out that you're no longer a traveler because a long time you've changed your mind you decide to stay there for 6 months or 3 months or something like that then in that case there is nothing wrong you straight away change you go back to the residency the rules of being a resident in your city and that's what you do there is another situation which many of the scholars mentioned which is that a person goes to a city and doesn't know when they're going to leave but they're going to leave as soon as the job is done so maybe they're waiting for a passport to be renewed and the first day goes and it's still not there second day goes one week goes another day goes but as soon as it comes they're planning on leaving and this person is also a traveler إن شاء الله so I hope that that helped to explain some of the basic rulings of traveling it's a topic really that we should take in a full class whereby somebody either studies a book of Fiqh or a book from the أحاديث الأحكام أحاديث الأحكام and they study it comprehensively in detail with all of its evidences when you're talking about the answer to a question you tend to summarize and to bring things in and make them easy but when we're talking about wanting all the details and the evidences and the differences of opinion and why and the reasons for them then in this you would need to go to an explanation of a book of Fiqh or an explanation of a book of أحاديث that deal with rulings but إن شاء الله that is something that will just summarize it and hopefully make it easy to apply and to understand that's what Allah made easy for me to mention and that's what Allah has best والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد وعلى آلين وصحبين واجمعين
