Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is the Friday prayer obligatory for a traveler, or may he combine and shorten the Dhuhr and Asr prayers?
Answer:
If the distance is eighty kilometers or more, he shortens the prayer. He combines them, either by advancing the later prayer or delaying the earlier one, unless he is staying for more than four days, in which case he does not combine them, but he may still shorten the prayer. Yes.
