Shortening the midday prayer after entering the town but before reaching the house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a similar question. A man from the people of Riyadh traveled to al-Qawiyah and returned to Riyadh. He did not pray the midday prayer while traveling, but rather prayed it when he entered the city of Riyadh and returned to it before reaching his home. So he shortened the midday prayer. Is his action correct?
Answer:
No, my brother, once he reaches his town, it is over. The rulings of travel have ended, so he does not shorten or combine. Let him complete the prayer, praying each prayer in its time. Yes.
