Combining and shortening the prayer for one who stays more than six months for treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: I am going to travel with my sister for treatment, and we will stay for more than six months. As for the prayer, I read that I may combine and shorten the prayer until I return,
Answer:
No, some scholars have said this, but it is the weaker position. The correct view is that if one intends to stay for more than four days, the state of travel is broken, so he must pray every prayer at its proper time, and he must fast Ramadan, because the travel has ended due to a stay of more than four days that was intended. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
