The Ruling on Shortening the Prayer in Land Travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu 'Abdullah, says that they go on outdoor trips on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. He asks: Do we shorten and combine the prayers, even though we are moving from place to place in search of spring?
Answer:
If you are heading toward a specific direction that is eighty kilometers or more away, then you may shorten the prayers. But if you leave the town without intending a specific direction, and you do not know where you are going, whether near or far, then you do not shorten the prayers in this case, because you have not intended to travel, but rather you are seeking a suitable place, which may be close, less than the distance required for shortening. Yes.
