The ruling on shortening the prayer at Riyadh Airport
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to shorten the prayer at Riyadh Airport?
Answer:
This depends on the airport itself: is it inside the town or outside the town? If it is outside the town, yes, only the prayer [is shortened]. If it is inside the town, no, because you have not left the depths of the town, nor have you left the built-up area to make it apparent, because Riyadh now is inside the built-up area; you have not passed beyond the built-up area. Yes.
