Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on shortening the prayer if I stay for more than three days?

The Shaykh:
If you stay for the limit of four days or less, you shorten. If you stay for more than four days, you complete the prayer if you intend to stay and it exceeds four days, you complete the prayer. But there is a note: if you are at a mosque and there are people praying, do not pray alone. You say, "So that I can shorten, I will pray with the congregation and complete the prayer." There is good for you in this, and you will have a reward. Yes.

The presenter:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: A woman performed an abortion on her pregnant daughter.

The Shaykh:
With the note that if you intend to stay for more than four days, you complete the prayer from the very beginning, from the moment you arrive. He is saying, "Until four days of prayer have passed?" No, if you intend a long stay that exceeds four days, you complete the prayer from the moment you arrive in the place of residence. Yes.
