Question:
A questioner says: I am a traveler, and I prayed the midday prayer. When I finished the first unit, I remembered that I had not intended to shorten it, so I completed the midday prayer with four units. Is this permissible? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is permissible for the traveler; he may shorten the prayer or complete it. Shortening is permissible for him, and this is a dispensation. Completing it is also permissible for him, and this is the default ruling. Yes.
