Shortening and Combining Prayers in a Camp Far from the City
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: These days we go out to the open desert and set up a camp with our family, our cousins, and our brothers. However, we pray; we are more than one hundred and twenty kilometers away from Riyadh, so we shorten the prayers and combine them.
Answer:
As for combining, that is not appropriate because you are residents and you pray every prayer in its proper time. As for shortening, if you intend to stay for more than four days, you are not permitted to shorten. However, if your stay is not fixed and you do not know when you will return to your country, there is no harm in shortening. Yes.
