The Ruling on Combining and Shortening Prayers While Traveling for Study
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu Hisham. He says: I am planning to travel for study in these days, and I have set the duration at two years. Should I combine and shorten my prayers and remain considered a traveler until I return?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for you to combine or shorten your prayers, nor to break your fast during Ramadan for the duration of your studies; because you have ended your travel and settled for study, you take on the rulings of a resident. You complete the prayer, you pray with the congregation, and you fast the month of Ramadan. Yes.
