Question:
He says: I am a resident of Makkah and I work in Jeddah in the government sector. The distance between my home and my workplace in Jeddah is one hundred kilometers. Is it permissible for me to shorten the 'Asr prayer with the Zuhr prayer?
Answer:
No, because Jeddah and Makkah are close together now. The space between them is eighty kilometers. The buildings are close, and they almost blend together, so it is not a distance for shortening the prayer.
