The Delayed Midday Prayer for One Who Arrives in His Home
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If I was traveling from Riyadh to Makkah, and during my return from Makkah the time for the midday prayer entered, so I delayed it to be combined with the afternoon prayer, and I arrived in Riyadh during the time for the afternoon prayer, should I pray the midday prayer as two units or four units? I have the question. He says: If I was traveling from Riyadh to Makkah, and during my return from Makkah the time for the midday prayer entered, so I delayed it with the afternoon prayer, and then I entered Riyadh during the time for the afternoon prayer, should I pray the midday prayer as two units or as four?
Answer:
Do not pray it as four, because the travel has ended. If Riyadh is your home and place of residence, then when you enter it, the travel ends, so you pray it in full. Yes.
