Question:
The brother Abdullah al-Husayn sent a question inquiring of you. He says: What is the ruling on combining the two prayers, Maghrib and 'Isha' or Zuhr and 'Asr, for one who is traveling, O Shaykh, and has settled in a place for a day or two?
Answer:
If the stay does not reach four days, there is no harm in shortening the prayer. As for combining, there is no need for it. He prays each prayer in its time, shortened, without combining. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed in Mina for the days of Tashriq, shortening the prayer without combining, praying each prayer in its time. Yes.
