The Ruling on the People of Makkah Regarding Shortening the Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q2: In the past, ( Mina ) was considered a separate location and ( the Holy Makkah ) an independent town, and thus the rulings on travel and residence differed between them. However, in the present era, complete connection and proximity have developed between them in terms of urbanization, as is evident to any visitor. Therefore, we ask you: Does your government treat these two locations as a single place or town today, and is Mina considered part of the Holy Makkah or not? We request that you clarify this matter fully, as the issue of the intention to reside there depends on it.
A2: The people of Makkah , when they perform Hajj, take on the ruling of pilgrims regarding shortening and combining prayers; because those from the people of Makkah who performed Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were not ordered to complete the prayers.
And the proximity of the buildings of Makkah to the sacred sites is not considered.
