The Intention to Shorten the Prayer While Traveling
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And he will not be asked, may Allah have mercy on him, whether one shortens the prayer while traveling?
Answer:
Yes, it requires an intention. One intends to shorten the prayer at the beginning of the prayer, at the opening takbir. So if he said the takbir without intending to shorten, and then intended to shorten during the prayer, this is not permissible for him. It is obligatory that the intention be made at the opening takbir. Yes.
