Shortening and Combining Prayers for One Who Travels the Distance for Shortening Daily
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man works at an institution that is the distance for shortening away from his residence. The institution has provided housing for its employees to stay near the institution, but this man does not stay in that housing; rather, he goes and returns daily the distance for shortening. His question is: Is it permissible for him to shorten and combine?
Answer:
Yes, as long as it is the distance for shortening, it is not permissible for him to shorten and combine, even if he travels frequently. In fact, he is more entitled to the dispensation than the one who does not go except once.
