Question #693:
Please explain your opinion on the issue of original and second watan.
Answer #693:
The original watan is the place where one grows up and flourishes for the most of his early life (means childhood and adolescence). While the second watan is a place where one surely decides to live there permanently, for a long time (even several months every year) or without determining the period of stay.
