If one prays the Friday prayer and then travels, does he pray the afternoon prayer as four units or two?

The questioner : Now, the second question, Shaykh. If I prayed the Friday prayer in al-Hufr while I was a traveler, yes? I prayed it in al-Hufr, meaning in the same village, and then I caught the afternoon prayer while traveling. Do I pray the afternoon prayer shortened, or do I complete it as four units?

The Shaykh : Do you mean you want to combine it with the Friday prayer?

The questioner : No, no.

The Shaykh : I prayed the Friday prayer.

The questioner : In the village.

The Shaykh : I pray it in its time.

The questioner : The afternoon prayer is two units.

The Shaykh : And you are in your village? Yes, in your village?

The questioner : Yes, I prayed the Friday prayer with the congregation in the village, then after the midday prayer I traveled. I caught the afternoon prayer on the road. Do I pray two units or four?

The Shaykh : No, no, two units.

The questioner : Yes, because some people say no, it must be four units, because it is not permissible for you to pray it shortened if you prayed the Friday prayer in a settled area.

The Shaykh : No, no, we pray two units.

The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Whenever you catch the prayer while you are traveling, pray two units.

The questioner : May Allah reward you with good, thank you, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : May Allah greet you.
