Please, go ahead with your question.

We have a hospital that is about eighty-five kilometers from us. So, is it permissible for us to shorten the prayer? Is it considered travel? Okay, thank you.
The Shaykh:
Yes, if the hospital is eighty kilometers or more from the center of your town, then you may shorten the prayer and combine prayers when going to it and returning from it.
