Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner, Fahd, says: Honorable Shaykh, a group of teachers commute from al-Madinah to their school, and the distance is approximately two hundred kilometers. Are they permitted to shorten the prayer? And are they permitted to combine the midday prayer with the afternoon prayer? Knowing that they arrive at their homes at approximately one o’clock and five minutes. I ask for an answer to this?
Answer:
Yes, if the distance is eighty kilometers or more between their town and their workplace, then they are permitted to shorten and combine while on the road or in the town of work; because they are travelers. Yes.
