Dispensation for travel between Jeddah, al-Ta'if, and Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: My hometown is in Jeddah, and I come here to al-Ta'if to visit relatives. I want to go to Makkah, which is close to Jeddah. Do I take the dispensation of travel, or is the distance between Makkah and Jeddah not considered travel?
Answer:
You are from the people of Jeddah, and you came to al-Ta'if and want to pass through Makkah. You are a traveler; you are still a traveler, because the distance between Jeddah and al-Ta'if is a distance for shortening the prayer, and more than a distance for shortening the prayer. So you are a traveler. But if you catch up with the Muslims in the mosques for prayer, complete the prayer with them. Do not delay and say, "I am a traveler and I will shorten." Pray with them and complete the prayer.
