The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, and in his other question he says: What is your opinion of the one who says, jokingly or in jest, while he is traveling, “I have a discount card, so I will pray the midday prayer in two rak'ahs”?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He asks: What is your opinion of a person who says, jokingly or laughing, while traveling, “I have a reduction card, so I will pray the midday prayer in two rak’ahs”?
The Shaykh:
What does the card have to do with the midday prayer? If it is permissible for him to shorten the prayer, he prays it in two rak’ahs. He prays it in two rak’ahs because of the reduction card? No, if it is permissible for him to shorten the prayer, he prays it in two rak’ahs, but the reduction card has no bearing on it. Yes.
