Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I travel every day outside Riyadh, a distance of one hundred kilometers, and I return at the end of the day because of my studies. Is it permissible for me to combine and shorten the Dhuhr and Asr prayers, and this is every day I travel?
Answer:
Yes, you are more entitled to the dispensation than others. The one who travels back and forth every day is more entitled to the dispensation than the one who does not go in the entire year except once. So as long as you travel a distance of one hundred kilometers or more, you are a traveler. Yes.
