Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a university student in al-Ahsa, and I am from Dammam. Is it permissible for me to combine the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers if I arrive in Dammam at three in the afternoon on the same day?
Answer:
If the distance between the inhabited areas of the two towns is eighty kilometers or more, outside the built-up areas of the two towns, then he may shorten the prayer and combine them while traveling, and he may shorten and combine them at his place of work if he will return to his town soon. However, if the distance between the inhabited areas of the two towns is less than the distance for shortening the prayer, which is eighty kilometers, then he does not shorten the prayer and does not combine them. Yes.
