Shortening the Prayer for the Resident Companion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Umm Muhammad, and she says that she is accompanying her sick sister in the city of Jeddah. She is from Abha, and she has been there for seven days, but she does not know how long she will continue to accompany her. Should she continue to shorten and combine the prayers?
Answer:
If she is accompanying a sick person and she knows that he will remain for more than four days, then she does not shorten or combine, because she has become a resident. However, if she is there to attend to a need and does not know when it will end, then she shortens and combines, because she is still a traveler. Yes.
