Ruling on shortening the prayer for one who hears the call to prayer in his city and then travels
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q541: The questioner says: The call to prayer for the midday prayer was made while I was in Makkah, and then I traveled before I prayed. During the journey, I stopped to perform the prayer, so I shortened it and combined the midday and afternoon prayers. Is my action valid?
A541: You traveled after the call to prayer for the midday prayer, so combining and shortening are not permissible for you; because you caught the time while you were not a traveler, you must pray the midday prayer with four units. However, if you are not a resident of Makkah, and you are merely passing through as a pilgrim performing the lesser pilgrimage or the major pilgrimage, and you traveled, then you are continuing your journey, so you shorten and combine.
