Shortening the Prayer and Combining Prayers for the Traveling Truck Driver
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions that came in, Honorable Shaykh, is one that says: I am a truck driver, and I go to Dammam and come back, I go to Jeddah and come back, but I shorten and combine the prayers during those days of my travel.
Answer:
There is no harm in that. You are more deserving of the dispensation than those whose travel is short, because the hardship is greater for you, so you are more deserving of the dispensation, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
