The ruling on the traveler for one who goes from al-Kharj to Riyadh for study
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And may Allah bless you. Honorable Shaykh, this brother Abu 'Abdullah says: I am a resident of al-Kharj. I go to Riyadh for study on Friday evening and return on Wednesday afternoon. Do I take the ruling of the traveler in prayers and other matters? Yes, Shaykh, for study.
Answer:
The default is that the distance between al-Kharj and Riyadh is a distance of shortening (qasr), but now that the buildings have become closer together, it does not appear to me that the distance between them is a distance of shortening; because the end of the buildings of Riyadh and the beginning of the buildings of al-Kharj are close, so there is no longer a distance of shortening. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good and bless you.
