The distance and duration for which a traveler shortens the prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is the distance eighty-three in travel, Honorable Shaykh, or is it necessary to fulfill the duration?
The Shaykh:
The distance is eighty, not eighty-three. Eighty kilometers means two stages, each stage being forty kilometers. This is the distance of travel; the total is eighty kilometers.
The questioner:
Does combining and shortening have a specific duration?
The Shaykh:
As for combining and shortening, as long as he is earnest in his journey, he combines and shortens. If he stops during the journey, he shortens but does not combine during his stay. If he intends to stay for more than four days, he completes the prayer because his state of travel has ended with this intention to stay. Yes.
