Shortening the Prayer for One Who Comes from Outside the Country for Work
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: I am from outside this country, and I say: I came for work. May I shorten the prayer?
The Shaykh:
How long does he stay in the country?
The questioner:
For work?
The Shaykh:
The work is not long. If he stays four days or less, that is the intention. Then he continues his journey. But if he stays for a long time, the state of travel has ended, so he does not combine or shorten. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
