The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I am studying at the University of al-Kharj. I go there every morning and return to my house in the evening. I perform the Zuhr and 'Asr prayers in al-Kharj.
The Shaykh:
And he travels from Riyadh.
The questioner:
Yes, a student at the University of al-Kharj there, and he goes to...
The Shaykh:
And there is no longer a distance of eighty kilometers between the buildings of al-Kharj and the buildings of Riyadh. It appears that combining and shortening the prayers is not permissible for him, because he walks through continuous construction. Approximately, from the first day, the buildings of al-Kharj are far away, and the buildings of Riyadh are far away from each other. The situation has not changed now. Yes.
