Combining and Shortening Prayers for One Who Stays Two Years for Study
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the brothers sent a question in which he says: Honorable Shaykh, I will be going, if Allah wills, soon to a course abroad for a period of two years, and I will shorten and combine the prayers based on a fatwa I read, so I ask the Shaykh to answer this.
Answer:
This fatwa is wrong, my brother. You do not combine or shorten the prayers because your state of travel has ended due to the long stay for study. So complete the prayer and pray each prayer in its time, just as you did when you were with your family and in your country, because the travel has ended due to the long stay. Yes.
