The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, he says: If I catch up with a person praying the 'Isha' prayer while he is traveling, and then he arrives in his hometown during its time, is it permissible for him to pray it shortened after arriving in his hometown?
The Shaykh:
What is it?
The questioner:
If I catch up with a person praying the 'Isha' prayer while he is traveling, and then he arrives in his hometown during its time, is it permissible for him to pray it shortened after arriving in his hometown?
The Shaykh:
No. If he arrives in his hometown, the shortening ends. He prays it in full. Even if it became obligatory for him while traveling, the criterion is the performance. So if he performs it while resident and settled, he completes it.
