Question:
What is the ruling on shortening the prayer during a trip for recreation if the conditions for shortening are met?
Answer:
Shortening the prayer is permissible if the conditions are met, even if the traveler intends to go for recreation in a place that is free of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief), and free of obvious sins or nudity. If it is a pure place and he goes there for recreation, and it is free of the things prohibited by the Shari'ah, there is no harm in shortening the prayer because he is a traveler. Yes.
