Ruling on combining prayers while traveling a distance of one hundred and fifty kilometers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Abu Sa'd, says: We went out to the desert on a Friday, and the distance, Honorable Shaykh, was one hundred and fifty kilometers. We had intended to return the next day, so we combined the Dhuhr and 'Asr prayers, praying two rak'ahs for each. Is what we did valid?
Answer:
If you intended this distance when you left, being more than eighty kilometers or eighty kilometers or more, then this is the distance for shortening the prayer, because this counts as travel, as it is equivalent to two stages for camels. Yes.
