Whether it is permissible for travelers intending residence to use the Rukhsahs of traveling

420

Q 1: We are a group of teachers who travel 200 km from our cities on Saturdays before dawn and return on Wednesdays in the afternoon. We rented a house near our work where we can stay from Saturday to Wednesday.Can we make use of the Rukhsah (concession) of traveling?

A: If the situation is as you mentioned, that you travel from the place of your residence to the place where you work with the intention of staying there from Saturday morning to Wednesday afternoon, you cannot make use of the Rukhsah of traveling as your stay lasts for more than four days and you are therefore considered residents. (Part No. 6; Page No. 429) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
