The ruling on shortening the prayer before leaving the city
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, among the questions that reached us, Your Excellency the Shaykh says: He is about to travel and has not yet left the city, but he shortened the prayer, and he did not know the ruling at that time. Does he have to repeat that prayer which he shortened?
Answer:
Yes, because the dispensation for travel has not been legislated for him yet; he only intended to travel and did not leave the city. The dispensations are not considered valid unless one leaves the city. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes. May Allah bless you.
