When does the dispensation for travel end?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Among the questions that came to the program, Honorable Shaykh, is this: If I travel every week, Honorable Shaykh, am I allowed to shorten and combine the prayers? I travel, for example, on Saturday and return on Wednesday every week.
Answer:
In the journey, meaning on the road, you combine and shorten. But in the town you traveled to, if you stay for a period exceeding four days, and you know that you will stay more than four days, it is not permissible for you to combine or shorten, because the state of travel is broken by a stay exceeding four days. However, if you stay for a short period of less than four days, there is nothing wrong with it. But, my brother, you have mosques and people are praying around you, so pray with the Muslims, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
