Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the three-rak'ah and four-rak'ah prayer performed as two rak'ahs in fear?
Answer:
No, mere fear is not enough. If travel and fear coincide, it is prayed as two light rak'ahs: two for shortening, and light for the sake of fear. But if the fear is in a settled location without travel, it is lightened, but the rak'ahs are completed; the rak'ahs are completed. Yes. That is the end. Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
