Question:
He asks and says: Do you shorten and combine the prayer on all days of Hajj? And if we shorten the prayer in general, is combining necessary, or is it possible to shorten without combining? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and his Companions. As for what follows: The prayer is shortened during travel. If a person comes for Hajj from a far distance, that is travel, and the prayer is shortened on the Day of 'Arafah, on the Day of Tarwiyah if it is near the Day of Tarwiyah, on the Day of 'Arafah, at Muzdalifah, and on the days of Tashreeq at Mina. The prayer is shortened on the days of Hajj for one who comes from a journey for the sake of Hajj. Likewise, even for the people of Makkah if they perform Hajj with the people, they take the ruling of the pilgrims. Do they shorten in these places? Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to shorten and combine at 'Arafah and at Muzdalifah, and he did not say to the people of Makkah, "Complete your prayer." He did not say to the people of Makkah who performed Hajj with him, "Complete your prayer." As for before Hajj, if the pilgrim arrives early at the beginning of the ten days and will sit and wait until the Day of Tarwiyah, then he completes the prayer, if his stay in Makkah before Hajj exceeds four days, because the rulings of travel are broken off for him. But if he arrives on the morning of the fourth of Dhul-Hijjah, then he shortens the prayer until he finishes the acts of Hajj, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did. As for combining, he combines between Dhuhr and 'Asr at 'Arafah, shortening and combining, and at Muzdalifah he combines between Maghrib and 'Isha' with shortening of 'Isha'. And as for Mina, he shortens without combining, so he prays every prayer in its time, shortening without combining, due to the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
