The Prayer of the Traveler Who Stays for Two Days in the Mosque or the Residence
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: If we are a group of travelers and we stay in the town for two days, is it better for us to attend the prayer with the congregation in the mosque? Or is it better that we pray in the residence to fulfill the sunnah of shortening?
Answer:
My brother, shortening is not a sunnah except in travel. You are a resident now; you hear the adhan and the mosque is next to you. It is not permissible for you to delay. Go and pray, respond to the mu'adhdhin and pray in the mosque, and do not pray in your home or in a shortened form. Yes.
