Is it permissible for students of knowledge who have come for a one-month educational course to pray the Zuhr prayer at their accommodation and the other prayers in the Haram?

Question:
He says: We are students of knowledge who came here for a one-month educational course. Is it permissible for us to take the dispensation in the prayers and pray the Zuhr prayer at our accommodation, knowing that we pray the other prayers in the Haram, praise be to Allah?

Answer:
It is not permissible for you to shorten the prayers because you intended to stay in Makkah for a month for the course. The course lasts one month, so if the stay exceeds four days, it is obligatory to complete the prayers. As for praying at the accommodation, why do you pray at the accommodation? Is there no mosque around you? Do you not hear the adhan? Pray in the mosque near your accommodation. Pray the Zuhr prayer in the mosque that is close to your accommodation, and the other prayers you say in the Haram, praise be to Allah.
