Shortening the Prayer and Completing It for the Pilgrim and the Traveler in the Sacred Precinct
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If a pilgrim or a traveler prays in the Sacred Mosque or on the ground and does not catch up with the congregation in the Sacred Precinct, does he shorten the prayer or complete it, and does he perform the regular voluntary prayers?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
If a pilgrim or a traveler prays in the Sacred Mosque and the obligatory prayer, and does not catch up with the congregation in the Sacred Precinct, does he shorten the prayer or complete it, and does he perform the regular voluntary prayers?
The Shaykh:
He prays two units as a traveler. If he prays with the imam, he prays four units. If he prays one unit, he prays two units, as long as he arrives on the fourth day or after that, because the hospital is considered travel. However, if it is before that, he does not have the right to meet him, so I do not recall that he prays four units if it is before the fourth day, because he is estimated to be on the fourth day and remained shortening the prayer, peace and blessings be upon him. But if he arrives before that, on the second or third day, or before the month of Dhul-Hijjah, and intends to stay until he performs Hajj, he prays four units and also prays the regular voluntary prayers. Yes, or.
