Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Ahmad is with us from Dammam, from Makkah. Go ahead, Ahmad. Peace be upon you. May Allah welcome you. Your question is brief. May Allah reward you. Go ahead. May Allah keep you safe. Yes, that is right. There is a signature. He pays a large amount to the Shaykh. Excuse me, Ahmad, your voice is cutting out; I cannot hear you. Perhaps you should call back. Honorable Shaykh, if a person travels a distance of one hundred and twenty [kilometers] and returns on the same day, does he combine and shorten the prayer?
Answer:
Yes, he is a traveler, so he combines and shortens the prayer on his way there and on his way back until he reaches his town and settles in it. Yes.
