The ruling on shortening and combining prayers when intending to travel while inside the city
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh:
And peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The presenter:
I ask Allah to preserve this land and its people. Ha ha.
The questioner:
The question revolves around travel: do you shorten and combine if you leave the city, or do you shorten from inside the city if you intend to travel? The second question is very specific. Wait a moment, Sa'id.
The Shaykh:
You do not begin shortening, combining, or breaking the fast in Ramadan until you leave the buildings of the inhabited part of the town. As long as you are in the town or in your house, it is not permissible for you to combine or shorten, even if you are determined to travel. Yes.
