Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A woman went to the Muhim province, which is about fifty kilometers from Riyadh, and she combined and advanced the Maghrib and 'Isha' prayers. What is your Eminence’s opinion?
Answer:
Fifty kilometers is not a distance; this is considered the status of a resident in the city, as it is part of the city’s suburbs. The minimum distance for shortening the prayer is eighty kilometers. Anything less than that is not a distance for shortening. Therefore, she must repeat the prayers she performed, yes, because she is not a traveler.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
