The questioner : Hello, please. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. I said: If I am traveling and I intend to combine the Zuhr prayer with the 'Asr prayer with delay, and I arrive at the place I intended to travel to before or after the time of the 'Asr prayer has entered, do I pray the two prayers in full, or two units each? Knowing that I will stay in this place for more than four days?
The Shaykh : Yes, you do not pray it shortened.
The questioner : Shortened, and I have arrived at the town where I am staying.
The Shaykh : Yes, but it is not your home town.
