The time for beginning travel for combining and shortening prayers
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, when does combining prayers in travel take place? Is it upon departure from the town in which I reside?
Answer:
When he leaves the buildings and emerges outside the built-up area, the travel begins. So if he leaves the built-up area and the mu'adhdhin calls to prayer after he has left, he shortens the prayer, because it became obligatory for him after he had entered the time for it. But if it became obligatory for him while he was still inside the town, it is obligatory for him to pray it in full, and he does not shorten it.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
