Shortening the Prayer and Combining Prayers for One Working in Mina
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I am a man who came to Mina for government work. Is it permissible for me to shorten the prayer at every time in its proper time, or should I combine them while shortening?
Answer:
If you are from the people of Makkah, no, you belong to your homeland. But if you came as a traveler to a distant land and the duration is four days or less, you shorten. If the duration agreed upon in the contract is more than four days, pray four [rak'ahs].
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
