Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is the distance between the city of Riyadh and al-Kharj considered a distance for shortening the prayer?

Answer:
It used to be, but now the buildings of al-Kharj and Riyadh have come close together, and they have almost merged, so there is no shortening of the prayer between Riyadh and al-Kharj now.
