Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I prayed the midday prayer today in two units because I am a traveler, and this is my fourth day. Is my prayer valid? I should mention that I intended to travel yesterday, but I decided to stay for two additional days. Should I continue to shorten the prayer?
Answer:
No, you do not shorten the prayer for four days or less. As for what exceeds four days, and you intend to stay, that is not permissible. Yes.
