Shortening and Combining Prayers Before Leaving the City
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Regarding people who intend to travel, is it permissible for them to shorten and combine prayers in the city before they travel?
The Shaykh:
Once they leave the houses.
The questioner:
So, is the ruling based on the act itself?
The Shaykh:
Some people may cite the narration of Anas, but there is a concern with it, and it requires further attention from other chains. However, the safest course for the believer is not to do so except after leaving, after departing the buildings of the city. Yes.
