The answer

We have clarified the meaning of "traveler" (ibn al-sabeel), and the ruling regarding his hospitality being obligatory, based on the words of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "A guest's night is a right obligatory upon every Muslim," and his saying: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should honor his guest." The honoring of a guest is for three days, and anything beyond that is charity. We have already explained the duration of the obligatory hospitality.
