The ruling on shortening the prayer when visiting one’s original hometown
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I live in the city of Riyadh and I go to my hometown at intermittent intervals, staying there for two days or more. In my hometown, I have a private wing in my family’s house. Do I shorten the prayer when I go to my hometown, given that I reside permanently in Riyadh?
Answer:
If you have finally relocated to Riyadh and your permanent residence is in Riyadh, and you only go to your hometown for a visit, then you may shorten the prayer because you are a traveler. However, it is not permissible for you to pray alone when the congregation is near you and you can hear the adhan. You must go out and pray with the congregation and complete the prayer; you must not neglect the congregational prayer while you are hearing the mu’adhdhin. Yes.
