The Ruling on Shortening the Prayer for the Traveler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, I am a man who works in a transport vehicle between the Kingdom and other cities and countries, and my work involves travel. How should I pray? Do I shorten the prayer? And regarding the prayers in my case, what is prescribed for me?
Answer:
Yes, maintain the prayers, and you have the option to shorten and combine them; because you are a traveler. In fact, you are more entitled to the dispensation than the one who travels only once. Your travel is repeated, so you are in greater need of the dispensation, shortening, and combining. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
