The Ruling on Shortening Prayer in Repeated Travel for Hunting

Question:
This questioner, Abu Basam from al-Madinah al-Munawwarah, says: I am among the fruit of the bird traps, and I go to an area four hundred kilometers from us, where I stay for about fifteen days. Every day I travel by car about one hundred and fifty kilometers, and I am from the same area, and I stay where I spend the night. The question is, Honorable Shaykh Salih, how do I perform the prayer? Do I shorten and combine, or do I shorten?

Answer:
First, exaggerating in pursuing hunting is not permissible, because it distracts a person and occupies him with what is less important than seeking sustenance, worshipping Allah the Exalted, and staying with his family and children to raise them and supervise them. So do not go out for hunting too often. This is the first point. Second, regarding what you mentioned about moving from place to place and not settling in one place for more than four days, you may shorten the prayer, because this length of stay does not prevent shortening. Yes.
