The questioner:
May Allah reward you. We will take a call from our brother Muhammad from Riyadh. Go ahead, Muhammad. Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace. May Allah keep you in good, O Shaykh. May Allah welcome you.
The questioner:
I love you for the sake of Allah, O Shaykh. May Allah bless you. But O Shaykh, I am traveling. A group of people came to me who are residents. Do I shorten or complete the prayer?
The Shaykh:
You are a traveler and they are travelers.
The questioner:
Yes, I am a traveler and they are not travelers.
The Shaykh:
No, you complete the prayer if they are residents and you pray behind them, you complete the prayer.
