The Ruling on the Prayer of Travelers on Military Work Assignments
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: We are a group of military technicians, and we often travel on work assignments that last between one and two months, or less or more. Our work schedule is tied to specific times for flights, as we work on maintaining fighter jets. What is obligatory for us regarding the prayer?
Answer:
It is obligatory to preserve the prayer. If you are traveling on the road, you combine and shorten the prayer, provided the distance is eighty kilometers or more from your city. You combine and shorten while you are traveling on the road. However, if you stop at a place where you know you will stay for four days or less, you shorten the prayer, and if you wish to combine, you may combine. But if you know that your stay in this place will exceed four days, you follow the rulings of residence, and the state of travel is ended. You must complete every prayer in its proper time. Yes.
