The ruling on combining and shortening prayers for one who travels after the call to the midday prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: If a traveler sets out before the midday prayer, and the mu'adhdhin calls the adhan for the midday prayer before he leaves the town, does he have the right to combine and shorten the prayer? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
No, he is still in the town and is not considered a traveler. He is required to do what is required of the people of the town. Travel only begins when he leaves the inhabited area of the town, when he exits the buildings. As for one who is inside the town when the prayer becomes obligatory, he prays it in its time and completes it. Yes.
The presenter:
