Question:
We also have Abd al-Rahman from Riyadh. Please, Abd al-Rahman. Hello, peace be upon you. Peace. Goodbye. Shaykh, I went down and performed the lesser pilgrimage in Ramadan after the dawn prayer, and I went up to Ta’if. I prayed the midday and afternoon prayers. Our hometown is far from Ta’if. I arrived at our hometown before the time for the afternoon prayer, and I had prayed the combined and shortened prayer with the midday prayer.
Answer:
Since you combined and shortened the prayer while on the road and then arrived afterward, your prayer is valid, because at the time of combining and shortening you were a traveler, and it is permissible for a traveler to combine and shorten the prayer.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
