The ruling on shortening the prayer between Riyadh and al-Kharj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding the issue raised about a man who has military illnesses, the man says he prays in al-Khair and his thanks are in Riyadh.
Answer:
Yes, but the problem now is whether the distance for shortening the prayer still exists between Riyadh and al-Kharj? The construction has expanded now; the construction has expanded between Riyadh and al-Kharj. Al-Kharj has come closer and Riyadh has extended, and there is no longer a distance between them, as far as I know. I am hesitant about the continuation of shortening the prayer between Riyadh and al-Kharj in our present time due to the proximity of the two towns, as they said regarding Jeddah and Makkah; there is no longer a distance between the two towns, the construction extends from here and from there.
