It is permissible to avail oneself of the concessions of travel in Al-Quwai'iyah under two conditions: that the distance is a travel distance (around 170 km), and that one does not reside for a period that interrupts the travel. The Hanbali school of thought holds that the duration of stay that interrupts travel is the intention to reside for more than twenty prayers.
