Ruling on shortening the prayer with a long stay
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: We have been tasked with participating in the Hajj in the sacred sites starting next Tuesday, if Allah wills. Do we have the option to shorten the prayer? Because the gathering will be for more than fifteen days in the sacred sites?
Answer:
If a traveler stays in one place for more than four days, knowing that he will stay for more than four days, he is required to complete the prayer and not shorten it; because the state of travel is broken by this long stay.
