Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, if a traveler arrives in his hometown and has delayed the midday prayer until the time of the afternoon prayer, intending to do so, intending to combine them while traveling, and he arrives in his hometown during the time of the afternoon prayer while the people are praying, does he pray with them?
The Shaykh:
We start with the midday prayer, then we pray.
The questioner:
How many rak'ahs does he pray for it afterwards?
The Shaykh:
The midday prayer is four rak'ahs. Even if he is with the congregation, he prays with them intending the midday prayer, and then when he has prayed it, he prays the afternoon prayer. Good.
The questioner:
But does he not pray the midday prayer as two rak'ahs?
The Shaykh:
No, he prays four rak'ahs. When he reaches his hometown, he prays four rak'ahs.
