Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: We are employees in the city of Riyadh, and we travel to the Eastern Province every week by train. The question is: Does the time for the Dhuhr prayer enter before we board the train? Is it permissible for us to shorten the prayer after boarding the train and combine it with the Asr prayer?
Answer:
Pray before boarding if the time enters before you board the train; then pray before boarding. As for combining, this varies depending on the location. If the train station is inside the city, you are not permitted to combine, nor are you permitted to shorten, because you are still in the city, the city of residence. However, if the station is outside the city, you have begun your journey once you leave the city, so you have begun traveling, and you are permitted to shorten and combine. Yes.
