Shortening and Combining Prayers for Travelers Without a Specified Duration
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some people traveled without deciding on a specific duration, so the women shortened the prayer but did not combine them, while the men prayed the full prayer in the mosque. Is their action correct?
Answer:
I mean, they did not intend a specific distance. If they did not intend a specific distance, they do not shorten the prayer. However, if they intended a specific distance of eighty kilometers or more, they may shorten the prayer, unless they intend to stay for more than four days, in which case they do not shorten it. Yes.
