Shortening and Combining Prayers for One Who Works in Riyadh and Resides in al-Kharj
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A person who resides in the province of al-Kharj comes to his workplace in Riyadh and returns to al-Kharj daily after the end of his work. He shortens and combines his prayers daily before returning to his residence. Is this permissible for him?
Answer:
No, because al-Kharj is close to Riyadh, and the distance of shortening no longer remains between them. Therefore, it is not permissible now, because the buildings have come close together, and al-Kharj has expanded and Riyadh has expanded, and they have drawn near. From the very first day, there was a distance between al-Kharj and Riyadh that had no residents and no buildings. Yes.
