Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Do the residents of al-Kharj, when they reach Riyadh, have the right to shorten the prayer and leave some of the regular voluntary prayers (rawatib)?
Answer:
If the distance is eighty kilometers between the inhabited area and the inhabited area, or approximately that, then it is travel. But if the inhabited area is close to the inhabited area, the inhabited area of al-Kharj and the inhabited area of Riyadh are close, it is not travel. No, one looks into this; because I do not know what is between them now. It is said that the inhabited area is now extensive from the south, and the inhabited area from the direction of al-Kharj is likewise, but if there is approximately eighty kilometers between them, then he should shorten. There is no ruling regarding the scattered buildings; the intention is the connected ones.
