The Shaykh:
Is shortening the prayer permissible when you are with a congregation? In a town. Is it better to shorten or to pray with the Muslims? In the cities and towns. Yes.
The questioner:
I shorten the prayer while I am traveling.
The Shaykh:
No, pray with the people; do not pray alone. Pray with the people, four rak'ahs. May Allah reward you for your good deeds.
