Question:
He says: It is my custom, Shaykh Salih, not to take the dispensations of travel given the existence of cars and airplanes today and the shortening of distances. Have I thereby contradicted the Prophetic guidance?
Answer:
Yes, you have contradicted the dispensation that Allah Mighty and Majestic loves. Allah Exalted and Majestic is He loves that His dispensations be taken, just as He dislikes that His disobedience be committed. It is recommended for the traveling Muslim to shorten the prayer and to combine the two prayers if he needs to combine them[Al-Baqarah 2:185] Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
