Question

A person can travel 88 kms in an hour, if he is travelling on a smooth road. The same 88 kms take 3 hours when he is travelling on village roads of India. So is there any limit on the time of travel to become Musafir

Answer

There is no time limit in becoming a Musaafir. There is no difference between a person who travels on a built up highway or a person who travels in a gravel road in any township. The limit is 88 km.
