Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking, and he is studying abroad. Honorable Shaykh, regarding combining and shortening the prayers, he says: I have been here for two years now, and I have one year left. So, do I combine and shorten the prayers because I am a traveler and I will return to my country? Or what should I do?
Answer:
No, my brother. Your stay, which exceeds four days, has ended the state of travel. If a traveler intends to stay for more than four days, then the travel is ended by this stay, and he has to pray the full prayer and fast in Ramadan. Yes.
