12. When the person stops somewhere, he should say: “A’udhu bi kalimaatillahit-taammati min sharri ma khalaq.” ( I seek refuge in Allah’s perfect words from the evil that has been created). (Muslim)
1. The person must first return to the rightful owners anything he has taken wrongfully from anyone or anything he has taken wrongfully from anyone or anything that has been left with him as a trust. This is because travelling is accompanied by the possibility of death.
A Muslim views travelling as a necessary part of his life that he cannot do without. The Hajj, Umrah, Jihad, seeking knowledge, trade, visiting his brothers are either mandatory or obligatory parts of his life. Therefore, he is bound to travel. For this reason, the Shari’ah has covered the aspects of travelling and its etiquette. Such concern cannot be denied. A pious Muslim must learn these etiquette and apply them in his life.
