Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It was reported from one of the students of knowledge that he says it is permissible to combine the prayers for one who goes to the Al-Kharj province to work there. He says that the distance is calculated from your house to the house you are going to and traveling to. Is this a correct statement?
Answer:
No, the distance begins from when you exit the city, if the distance between the end of the buildings of the city you are coming to and the end of the buildings of the city you left is eighty kilometers, then this is a distance for shortening the prayer. But from your house? No. And Allah the Exalted knows best.
