Shortening the Prayer Between Jeddah and Makkah and Combining Prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: I reside in Makkah and work in Jeddah, and I travel daily, returning to Makkah at the end of the day. So, do I shorten the 'Asr prayer to two rak'ahs while I am in Jeddah before heading to Makkah? Knowing that I pray the Dhuhr and 'Asr prayers as four rak'ahs in Jeddah.
The Shaykh:
There is no distance for shortening the prayer between Jeddah and Makkah now; the buildings are close together, the buildings of Makkah and the buildings of Jeddah are close, and the distance for shortening no longer remains between them, so do not shorten.
The questioner:
He says: A man charged me with a debt.
The Shaykh:
Do not combine the prayers either; pray every prayer in its time. Yes.
