22. QUESTION: Concerning the definition of a journey.(15)

ANSWER: The definition of a journey is nine hours by the clock. Should the

traveller stop in a place, anticipating that he will stay there for no

less than one month by the Bayan reckoning, it is incumbent on him to keep

the Fast; but if for less than one month, he is exempt from fasting. If he

arriveth during the Fast at a place where he is to stay one month

according to the Bayan, he should not observe the Fast till three days

have elapsed, thereafter keeping it throughout the remainder of its

course; but if he come to his home, where he hath heretofore been

permanently resident, he must commence his fast upon the first day after

his arrival.
