Question:
Also, among the questions that come in, Shaykh, are those from employees, those sent abroad, and students studying outside the country regarding fasting and prayer: are they permitted to combine?
Answer:
No, these are residents, because their state of travel is broken by a long stay. They study, perhaps for years, and they rent houses or buy houses. How can it be said that they are travelers? They have upon them what residents have regarding fasting in Ramadan and completing the prayer, for they are residents. Yes.
