Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abd al-Rahman is with us on the line, please go ahead, Abd al-Rahman. Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace, raise your voice, Abd al-Rahman. Shaykh, I came from al-Ta'if to Makkah and traveled more than eighty kilometers, and I want to combine and shorten the prayers. I intended to stay for nine days. Is it permissible for me to combine and shorten during these nine days, and when is it permissible for me to combine?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you, my brother, to shorten if you intend to stay for more than four days. So shortening and combining are not permissible for you, because the state of travel is broken by the intention of this stay. Yes.
