The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We went to visit the Prophet’s City and stayed for three days. On the third day, we decided to travel to Riyadh. We prayed Zuhr in congregation, then we prayed 'Asr shortened after the congregation ended. Is what we did valid?
The Shaykh:
Just as they did in al-Madinah.
The questioner:
Three days.
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with it. Yes, indeed, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
