Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is the action of 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) explained, when he shortened his prayer for six months during his stay in Azerbaijan?
Answer:
The snow detained him. He stayed for a period that was not intended; he stayed due to an excuse. They said: If one is detained and does not intend to stay, he shortens the prayer. They said: Did you hear this? And among those who did this is Ibn 'Abbas, where the snow detained him, and he did not know when the snow would end.
