The Ruling on Combining and Shortening the Prayer for the Sick Traveler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We conclude this session with a question from one of the brothers. He says in this question: When I travel for treatment, what do you instruct me to do regarding combining the prayers? Because I took a leave for treatment for six months. Do I combine and shorten, or do I suffice with performing each obligatory prayer at its proper time?
Answer:
No, you do not combine and you do not shorten. If you intend to stay for more than four days, if you intend to stay for more than four days, then the state of travel has ended for you. So you pray the prayer of a resident, not the prayer of a traveler. You complete the prayer, and every prayer in its time. Yes.
