Shortening and Combining Prayers for One Who Intends to Stay for Four Days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a person enters a town and intends to stay there for four days, does he shorten every prayer in its own time, or is it permissible for him to shorten and combine the two prayers?
Answer:
If shortening is permissible for him, then combining is permissible for him. However, it is better for him to shorten every prayer in its own time, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did when he was staying in Mina; he would shorten without combining, praying every prayer in its own time, shortened, without combining.
