Shortening the prayer at 'Arafah for the people of Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
Men from the people of Makkah. The correct view, yes, the correct view is that pilgrims complete the prayer in all cases, whether they are from Makkah or from elsewhere, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not order the people of Makkah to complete the prayer at 'Arafah; rather, he ordered them to do so during the Battle of the Conquest, when he prayed with them in Makkah, he said to them This is in Makkah, but at 'Arafah he did not order them, which indicates that all pilgrims shorten the prayer, both the people of Makkah and others. Yes.
The questioner:
At all.
The Shaykh:
No, shortening is not for the sake of travel, it is for the sake of travel.
The questioner:
The writing of travelers.
The Shaykh:
There is no doubt that if they go out to 'Arafah, they are considered travelers; because 'Arafah is a long distance away. Yes.
The questioner:
Keep shortening, keep shortening, yes? 'Arafah.
The Shaykh:
'Arafah at that time, they used to carry provisions and water for it from Makkah, before cars appeared, and before it was a long distance that required provisions, water, and preparation, it was far away. Yes.
