Combining and shortening prayers for one who stays in Riyadh for two days or more
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If you travel to Riyadh and stay there for two days or more, do you combine and shorten the prayers, or do you only shorten them?
The Shaykh:
Oh, my.
The questioner:
To Riyadh and stay there for two days or more, do you combine and shorten the prayers, or do you only shorten them?
The Shaykh:
If Riyadh is not your home city, and you go there for a need that requires you to stay for four days, then shortening and combining are permissible. However, limiting yourself to shortening only and leaving off combining—praying each prayer at its proper time—is better. If there is a mosque where you can hear the call to prayer, you should pray with the congregation and not pray alone; you pray with the congregation and follow the imam in his prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
