The ruling on shortening the prayer for a resident staying more than four days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: My brother traveled for three months to do business in one of the countries. He says that during these three months, regarding prayer, he shortened and combined all the prayers until he returned to our country.
Answer:
If he intended to stay in the country he traveled to for more than four days, it is not permissible for him to shorten and combine, because he has become a resident and the rulings of travel have ceased to apply to him. Why did he not ask the scholars before he fell into this action? This is negligence and carelessness. Yes.
