The ruling on shortening the prayer when staying for more than four days
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, I am going to travel with my sister for treatment, and the doctors have decided that we will stay there for more than five months. As for the prayer, I am confused: should I pray every prayer in its proper time, or should I combine and shorten?
Answer:
No, my brother, as long as you have stayed there for a period exceeding four days, you must pray every prayer in its proper time, without shortening or combining, because you are a resident. Your long stay has ended the travel. Yes.
