The ruling on completing the prayer for one who does not know the duration of his stay
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a traveler arrives in the city and has not slept until the meeting, but the person in charge or the employee says, "Your trip will not end until after a week," does he complete the prayer or shorten it?
The Shaykh:
It depends on his intention. If he completes the stay for a specific duration, he is a traveler, but he prays with the people or does not pray alone. Congregational prayer is obligatory, but if the prayer time is missed or they become a congregation, he prays and it ends, because they do not have a fixed end to their stay with the community, and the need may end before that.
The questioner:
I saw it, and he said, "If I have time with me."
The Shaykh:
If so. He enters the state of ihram from Jeddah, meaning he does not grieve, he enters the state of ihram from Jeddah. If he says, "If it is facilitated, he enters the state of ihram from Jannah, from his location," if he intends, meaning if he intends, he enters the state of ihram from Jannah, yes. May Allah bless you, O Shaykh.
