Question:
A man works outside the city of al-Bahar, eighty-five kilometers away. He is required to pray the midday and afternoon prayers. He returns to Riyadh between four and five in the afternoon.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that; he combines and shortens the prayers on the way, both going and returning, and also at his place of work, because he is in need of the dispensation. He is in need of the dispensation. Even if this happens daily, he is in greater need of it than the one who does not travel except after a period of time. The one whose travel is repeated is more deserving of the dispensation than the one whose travel is delayed after a period of time. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
