I went out with the call to the midday prayer intending to travel, then I combined the midday and afternoon prayers at one of the stations, half an hour after the call!

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I intended to travel by car, and I left my house with the call to the midday prayer, and on the way I stopped at one of the stations, half an hour after the call,

The Shaykh:
You went out when?

The questioner:
I intended to travel by car, and I left my house with the call to the midday prayer, and on the way I stopped at one of the stations, half an hour after the call, and I prayed the midday and afternoon prayers there, combined and shortened. Is this action valid?

The Shaykh:
It became obligatory for you in the town. It became obligatory for you in the town. The call was made while you were leaving your house, inside the town. It became obligatory for you in full. Repeat it in full. Yes. As for the afternoon prayer, yes, there is no harm. Yes.
