Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the 'Asr prayer became obligatory before he traveled, and he prayed it after leaving his town, does he complete the 'Asr prayer or shorten it?
Answer:
If it became obligatory upon him while he was in the town, he prays it in full, because the consideration is based on when it became obligatory, not on when it is performed, so he prays it in full. However, if it did not become obligatory until after he had left the town, he shortens it.
