Shortening the prayer on a ship moored at certain ports temporarily
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: If a ship moors at a port in one of the neighboring countries, what is obligatory or preferable regarding shortening the prayer or completing it, and likewise regarding fasting, given that some visits have a known duration of either less than four days or more, and sometimes the duration is unknown?
A3: If a ship moors at a port in one of the countries and the duration is known to be more than four days, they should pray every prayer in its time in congregation, completing it without shortening. If they know the duration is four days or less, or if the duration is unknown, they should pray in congregation with shortening of the four-rak'ah prayers and combining the two prayers
that share the same time, as mentioned in the answer to the second question.
