Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I am a student at the university in Riyadh, and my family lives one thousand kilometers away from Riyadh. Do I have the right to combine and shorten the prayers, even though the university mosque is near me and my stay is more than four days every week?
Answer:
No, you do not shorten. Your stay is more than four days; you know this. You have no right to shorten. You have become a resident. You complete the prayer. Do not leave the mosque. Pray with the Muslims in the mosque. Yes.
