The ruling on shortening the obligatory prayer in one's home city while traveling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I traveled to Jeddah yesterday after the midday prayer, so I shortened the afternoon prayer and combined it with the midday prayer in Riyadh. Is my prayer valid, given that I am from Riyadh?
Answer:
No, it is not valid. You have no right to shorten the prayer unless you have left the city. If the prayer becomes obligatory for you while you are in the city, you are required to pray it in full, even if you leave the city; because it became obligatory for you in full, you must pray it in full, even if you pray it while traveling. Yes.
