The questioner:
The questioner says: I am from the people of Riyadh, and I went to Makkah and stayed there for more than four days. Then I wanted to return to Riyadh, so I prayed the midday prayer in the Haram. May I combine the afternoon prayer with it?
The Shaykh:
As he did in Makkah.
The questioner:
More than four days.
The Shaykh:
No, he does not combine with it, because the combining is broken by a stay that exceeds four days. Yes.
