Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: May Allah keep you safe. We arrived at Muzdalifah on the thirteenth of Dhu al-Hijjah, the Maghrib adhan was called, and we prayed Maghrib and 'Isha' combined and shortened.
The Shaykh:
Where did you arrive?
The questioner:
He says: We arrived at Muzdalifah on the thirteenth, and we were in a hurry.
The Shaykh:
To Muzdalifah.
The questioner:
He says: We arrived at Muzdalifah on the thirteenth of Dhu al-Hijjah, the Maghrib adhan was called, and we prayed Maghrib and 'Isha' combined and shortened at Muzdalifah. Did you do this...
The Shaykh:
Were you staying at Muzdalifah during the days of Tashreeq until the thirteenth,
The questioner:
or were you in a hurry?
The Shaykh:
If you are in a hurry, you do not go to Muzdalifah; you want to go to Muzdalifah. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: We prayed Maghrib and 'Isha' combined and shortened. Is what we did correct, since we are travelers?
The Shaykh:
Yes, combining and shortening is correct because you are travelers, as you mentioned, until you return to your country. Yes.
The presenter:
Tell him: Show me a difference between *shabih* and *mithil*. You say that Allah denied the *mithil* but did not deny the *shabih*. Tell him: Bring me a difference between them. He is unable to answer with a difference. The *shabih* is the *mithil*. Yes.
The Shaykh:
Or elsewhere, you are travelers. Yes.
The questioner:
He says: May Allah keep you safe. We prayed the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers combined and shortened at Muzdalifah on the tenth of Dhu al-Hijjah.
The Shaykh:
Likewise, as long as you are travelers, you may combine and shorten, except that the one who stays in a place during his travel, it is better for him to pray each prayer in its time, shortened, without combining.
The questioner:
He says: We prayed the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers combined and shortened at Muzdalifah on the tenth of Dhu al-Hijjah.
The Shaykh:
The pilgrim is a traveler on all the days; he may combine and he may shorten on the day of 'Id and other days. Yes.
