Combining and Shortening Prayers for a Student Traveling Between al-Ahsa and Dammam
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, I am a university student in al-Ahsa, and I am from Dammam. Is it permissible for me to combine the Dhuhr and Asr prayers? And if I arrive in Dammam at three in the afternoon on the same day, how should I handle the prayer?
Answer:
Yes, if the distance between Dammam and al-Ahsa is the distance for shortening prayers, eighty kilometers or more, outside the built-up areas of both towns, then he combines and shortens the prayers while on the road. If he returns, for example, and prays, combining Asr with Dhuhr on the road, then he has fulfilled what is required of him. So when he enters the town and the time for Asr arrives, he does not pray it a second time, because he has already prayed it. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
