Shortening the Prayer Between Jeddah and Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Umar from Makkah al-Mukarramah says: I reside in Jeddah, and I have work in Makkah al-Mukarramah for two months. Does this obligate me to shorten the prayer, given that the distance between my home and my workplace is more than one hundred kilometers?
Answer:
My brother, the distance between Jeddah and Makkah is a shortening distance, but the buildings are now close together, so there is no shortening distance between them; therefore, do not shorten. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah reward you.
