Question:
He says: I am a student at the University of Makkah, and I travel from our town to Makkah every month. Is it permissible for me to shorten the prayer?
Answer:
Yes, on the road. You may combine the prayers between your town and Makkah if your town is eighty kilometers or more from Makkah. If you go, you shorten the prayer on the road, and if you return, you shorten the prayer on the road. However, while you are residing in Makkah for study, you have no right to combine or shorten; pray with the people, because you are a resident, so you complete the prayer like the people. Likewise, in your town, when you arrive at your town, you complete the prayer and pray with the people. It is only permissible for you to shorten and combine on the road, going and returning, only.
