Commentary
The Prophet ﷺ set out from Al-Madinah after performing the Zuhr prayer, and he performed the 'Asr prayer in Dhul-Hulaifah, and then stayed there until the morning. (Sunan Abu Dāwūd, Hadith no. 1710)
b. Traveling for a lawful purpose is allowed, rather it is desirable and sometimes it becomes even obligatory, such as traveling to perform Hajj and Umrah, or to seek the knowledge which is not available in the city. Furthermore, traveling for any lawful purpose is allowed, such as to visit Al-Haram Mosque, the Prophet's Mosque, Al-Aqsa Mosque, or to visit a pious person, a relative, or a friend or the like.
