Is shortening and combining prayers prescribed for travel to Hajj?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Shaykh Salih, how is the prayer performed when traveling to Hajj? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
Traveling to Hajj is like any other permissible and prescribed journey. So, the four-rak'ah prayer is shortened if one comes from a distance of the shortening distance or more; he shortens the prayer. And if he is in transit, he also combines the two prayers, either combining them by bringing the later one forward or combining them by delaying the earlier one. If he is staying in one place, he prays each prayer in its time, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did when he was staying in Mina during the days of Hajj; he would pray each prayer in its time, shortened, without combining. Yes.
