Who Is Considered A Traveler?
Therefore, that which the evidence points to, which leaves no discomfort in the soul is: إذن الذي يدل عليه الدليل، وليس في النفس منه شيء، So long as a person does not intend to stay in a place indefinitely or that he does not settle in a place to live permanently, then they are a musāfir (ie: considered a traveler). أنه ما دام الإنسان لم ينو الإقامة المطلقة، أو الاستيطان، فإنه مسافر؛ Regardless if his remaining in a destination is due to a time restraint or whether his remaining in a destination is due to a need he wishes to fulfill. سواء قيد شفره بزمن، أو قيد سفره بعمل، There is no difference between the two situations as far as the rulings of a traveler are concerned. ولا فرق بين الصورتين.
