The Ruling on Shortening the Prayer in a Long Journey
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu 'Ammar, says: I would like to travel for treatment with my sister, who is suffering from a serious illness. The doctors have determined that this trip will last approximately six months. I want to combine and shorten my prayers, following one of the fatwas.
Answer:
No, as long as you stay in a place during your journey for more than four days, it is obligatory for you to pray the prayer of a resident, completing the prayer and performing each prayer in its proper time. This is because the state of travel is broken by a stay that exceeds four days, if you know that. Yes.
