The Ruling on Combining and Shortening the Prayer for the Traveler
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I want to speak about combining and shortening the prayer for the traveler. Is he allowed to do so? And what is the criterion for his journey?
Answer:
If he travels a journey of obedience that is eighty kilometers or more, meaning a two-day journey for a mount, then he may shorten and combine the prayer by taking the dispensement from Allah. Taking the dispensement from Allah is more beloved to Allah the Exalted. Indeed, Allah loves that His dispensations be taken, just as He dislikes that His disobedience be committed. Yes.
