The questioner:
Yes. May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner says: A farm is located 74 kilometers from the entrance of Riyadh on the Qassim road, and it is more than 90 kilometers from the house. Do we shorten the prayer and combine them?
The Shaykh:
The criterion is the town, not the house. If the distance between the end of the town and the farm is 80 kilometers or more, this is the distance for shortening the prayer. However, if the distance between the end of the town and the farm is less than 80 kilometers, this is not the distance for shortening, and shortening is not permissible. Yes.
