Shortening the Prayer in the Makkah Sacred Precinct
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, if I pray the sunset prayer in the Haram and then intend to travel, do I combine the night prayer with it as four rak'ahs, or do I shorten it? And do I receive the reward of a hundred thousand prayers?
Answer:
If you are residing in the Haram for a long period, you do not pray the full prayer; you pray the full prayer. But if you are a newcomer to the Haram for a short period, you shorten the prayer. There is no objection to your shortening if you pray alone. However, if you pray with the imam, you must complete the prayer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
