The ruling on shortening the prayer for a resident who is ill
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: I was struck by an illness that confined me to my house for a period. One of my relatives visited me and told me that it is permissible for a sick person to shorten the prayer in his house. He asks: Is this correct?
Answer:
No, that person is ignorant. Shortening is only for the traveler who travels a distance of eighty kilometers or more, which is two stages, meaning eighty kilometers or more. This is the travel that permits shortening. As for the resident, if he becomes ill, he prays in full and does not shorten. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
