The distance for shortening the prayer and utilizing the dispensations of travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is about seventy kilometers from Riyadh, or sixty. So, may we utilize the dispensations of travel and, for example, leave off the sunnah of the traveler?
Answer:
Seventy kilometers is not sixty, and it does not matter. The distance is not defined by two days of travel on a mount, but rather by a distance of eighty kilometers or more. As for seventy or sixty, that is not sufficient, so it is not permissible for you to shorten the prayer.
