Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the duration for which a traveler shortens the prayer?
Answer:
The traveler shortens the prayer for the entire duration of the journey, as long as he is traveling and moving. Even if he stays for a month, he shortens and combines the prayers. However, if he stays during the journey, whether in a town or in the desert, and his stay is brief, he continues to shorten and combine. This is because a brief stay does not end the state of travel. But if he stays for a long period, such that he knows he will stay for more than four days, the state of travel is ended, and he has the ruling of a resident. This is the opinion of the majority of scholars. Yes.
