The ruling on combining and shortening prayers for one who leaves the city on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, my honorable brother. This questioner says: I am a person who goes to the desert on Thursday and Friday, and it is far from the cities. The question is: Do I shorten the Friday prayer and combine it with the Asr prayer, or do I pray it as four rak'ahs?
Answer:
First, going out on Friday, leaving your place on Friday, is not recommended. That is, you should be ashamed of yourself regarding the virtue of Friday and the day of Friday, and leaving the Friday prayer. As for being ashamed of the virtue of Friday, there is no harm. But making it a habit, that is not recommended from you, and this is a deviation from the virtue. However, if you go out for a task, you go out for a task, or on Friday, then this is not Friday for you, but rather you are in the desert or in a place where Friday prayer is not held. So this is not Friday; this prayer is broken. You pray Zuhr as four rak'ahs and combine Asr with it. As for Friday, it is not Friday for you, and you do not intend it as Friday. You intend it as Zuhr and shorten it to two rak'ahs. If you intend it as Friday, you do not shorten it. Yes.
