Shortening and Combining Prayers for a Traveler Staying Fewer Than Four Days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: If a person travels and stays for four days or less, does he pray each of the obligatory prayers in its proper time, shortened, or does he combine the midday prayer with the afternoon prayer and the sunset prayer with the night prayer?
Answer:
If he is staying in a place during his travel, he shortens the prayer and does not combine them. One who is staying does not combine. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Mina during the days of Hajj used to shorten the prayer and not combine them because he was staying. Combining is only for one who is in the midst of traveling.
