Shortening and Combining Prayers at a Distant Workplace
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: My work area is two hundred and fifty kilometers away, and I go there only one day a week. My question is: Is it permissible for me to combine and shorten the prayers at my work?
Answer:
As long as you are not a resident at your workplace and you intend to return on the same day, you may shorten the prayers. There is no harm in combining and shortening them if you pray alone or with people like you. However, if you pray with those who complete the prayers, you must complete them with them.
