Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another letter from Abu Muhammad. He says: If I go on an outing outside the city for a distance of more than eighty kilometers, is it permissible for me to shorten the prayer?
Answer:
If you intended to travel that distance, then you may shorten the prayer. However, if you went out without knowing where you were going or where you would stop, and you simply kept going until you reached that distance, then you did not intend to travel.
