Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: His question is about shortening and combining prayers in permissible travel for recreation, and what is the ruling on one who differs from the praying congregation by completing the prayer? He is asking about shortening and combining in permissible travel, such as recreation and other things, and what is its ruling? He says: What is the ruling on one who differs from the praying congregation by completing the prayer?
The Shaykh:
By completing it.
The questioner:
Meaning he completed the prayer.
The Shaykh:
Completing is permissible. The sunnah (recommended practice) for the traveler is that the best is for him to shorten and combine if he needs to combine. And if he did not combine and did not shorten, this is permissible. This is the default. There is nothing wrong with it. It is not befitting to differ on this or to cause discord on this. Yes.
