Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I am a university student residing in the university dormitory, which is one hundred and twenty kilometers from home, and I stay there for more than two months. Do I shorten the prayer or not? And what is the duration for shortening in this case?
Answer:
No, my brother. You do not shorten the prayer during the period of your residence at your place of work or study if the duration exceeds four days; it is not permissible for you to shorten or combine the prayers, because the state of travel is broken by a long stay. However, on the road between your place of study and your hometown, on the way there and back, it is permissible for you, or rather recommended, to shorten and combine the prayers. Yes.
