Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Ibn 'Abbas said, "So when we traveled and stayed nineteen days, we shortened the prayer." Does his statement "so we stayed" imply that there was no intention to reside?
Answer:
It is understood to mean that he did not specify a period of residence, or it is understood to mean that he did specify a period of residence. This is the opinion of some scholars that one shortens the prayer up to this duration. This is one opinion, but it is the weaker position.
