· 18 Jumada I 1445 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

1. If a person travels overseas for 5 weeks but every weekend he travels safr distance for sight seeing and returns to the hotel at night, will he be a musafir during those 5 weeks?

2. If he travels out of the area that his hotel is in but it is not safr distance, will he still be considered a musafir?

Answer

1. Yes.

2. As long as he does not travel the safar distance he will remain a muqeem.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
