Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And to the Shaykh. We were traveling. We prayed two rak'ahs. We differed on the permissibility of half the prayer and the traveler returning.
Answer:
There is no harm if you pray it as the midday prayer while you are traveling; if you pray it as the midday prayer while traveling, you shorten it. But if you pray the Friday prayer, you intend it as the Friday prayer with the Muslims; you intend it as the Friday prayer and not as the midday prayer, and it suffices for you in place of the midday prayer. You intend it as the Friday prayer, pray it with the Muslims, and it suffices for you in place of the midday prayer. Yes.
