Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My workplace is two hundred kilometers from my home. He says: Honorable Shaykh, I stay at my workplace for two days, and I rest at home. What is the ruling regarding combining and shortening the prayers?
Answer:
If the stay is for two days and then he continues his journey, there is no harm in shortening and combining the prayers. However, if there is a mosque nearby and he hears the call to prayer, he should go to the mosque and pray with the congregation, completing the prayer. This is an increase in good and reward. It is not permissible for him to be absent from the congregation while he hears the call to prayer and is close to the mosque. Yes.
