Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to shorten the prayer and break the fast for the distance between Riyadh and al-Kharj?
Answer:
This depends on the distance between the two towns outside the built-up areas, meaning the space between the end of Riyadh's buildings and the beginning of al-Kharj's buildings. If it is eighty kilometers, then shortening the prayer is applicable. However, if the distance between the built-up areas is less than eighty kilometers, then it is no longer a distance for shortening the prayer. Yes.
